## Create and Edit a Content Taxonomy

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/images/icon_note.png)

Note Before you import a dynamic collection, first use data loader to import taxonomy terms. To import a dynamic collection, the taxonomy terms must be available in the target org. To import a content taxonomy and terms, go to Salesforce Developers to learn how to [use Data Loader to import a content taxonomy](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.dataLoader.meta/dataLoader/data_loader.htm?_ga=2.180389477.37445879.1706207903-1407825859.1706207903).

You can create one content taxonomy for each org.

1. In Lightning Experience, from the App Launcher, open the Digital Experiences app.
2. Open the Content Taxonomy tab. From the Digital Experiences Home tab, click ![down arrow image](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/communities_managed_content/images/cms_down_arrow.png), and then select **Content Taxonomy**.
3. Click **Create Content Taxonomy**.
4. Enter a name and description, and then click **Create**.
5. To edit a content taxonomy name or description, open the Content Taxonomy tab. Select the top-level, root term from the content taxonomy tree, and then click then click **Edit**. Save your changes.

## Manage Terms in a Content Taxonomy

Add terms to a taxonomy, and designate their parent and child relationship to one another.

Before you delete a term that’s included in a dynamic collection, [edit the conditions of the dynamic collection](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.cms_content_collections_dynamic_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A dynamic collection continuously updates based on the conditions and available content in your channels. Tag your enhanced CMS content with taxonomy tags, and then define conditions that automatically add content items to the collection.") and remove or replace the Value tag.

1. Open the Content Taxonomy tab. From the Digital Experiences Home tab, click ![down arrow image](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/communities_managed_content/images/cms_down_arrow.png), and then select **Content Taxonomy**.
2. To expand the content taxonomy tree, click the carats beside parent terms.
3. Add, edit, or delete a term.
    - To add a term, select the term that you want to be the parent, or select the taxonomy itself to make a root term, and then click **Add Child Term**. Add your changes.
    - To edit a term, select the term from the content taxonomy tree, and then click **Edit**. Save your changes.
    - To delete a term, select the term from the content taxonomy tree, and then click **Delete**. If a term has child terms, you can delete the parent term and its children, or you can delete the term and reassign its children to another term.
