Hi. I mistyped the categories of my submitted works. How can I fix it without deleting the file?

Correct answer MatHayward

Jill is, of course correct. Categories do very little to influence sales so I would not invest much time in them. 

 

If however, it's really bugging you, to answer your question...yes, you can edit the category on submitted work, after it has been approved. Once approved, go to the Dashboard section of the portal, find the image you want to edit the category for and click it. Scroll down and you will see a preview of the image. Adjacent to the preview you should see keywords and the category listed. Hover your mouse over the category until the edit icon (pencil) appears. Click the edit icon, select the updated category from the dropdown menu, save it, sit back and watch the sales roll in!

 

Stay creative!

The category isn't very important. If your titles and keywords are accurate and precise Buyers will be able to search for your images.
