    I'm curious what your content types are. We've found through user testing that having categories is a significant improvement for editors in understanding how content types relate to one another, even in small sites. Here's an example to illustrate:

    @deviantintegral I get that categories could be helpful in some cases particularly where there are a lot of different content types. In your example you have three content types related to books but for example suppose you have four unrelated content types such as Page, Policy, Report, Product then categories are not helpful, so it would be good if it was optional ie up to the admin to enable or not.

    Thanks for opening this issue and participating!

    I would be tempted to say that if your site has just a few content types, maybe you could reconsider if this module is really needed?

    From the module page:

    This module helps sites with a large number of content types to improve the usability of the Content -> Add page

    which is to say that this module started from the premise that we were dealing with a lot of content types that needed to be organized, categorized, etc. :)

    In case you consider the module is useful for the other UI it provides, maybe you can rename the default category to something like "General" or some other wording that doesn't get too much in the way of your editors?

    Yeah I like the icons. grid layout, view existing content links - looks so much nicer than the bland Drupal 10 core.

    But actually I can just add CSS in my Gin admin theme to say display:none for the h2 that I don't like - so problem solved, thanks...

    πŸ‘ sounds good. Closing this for now, we can always revisit this idea if a lot of people find themselves in the same situation over time.
