Hi @CarlNight-9325

If you need to add new "Category" category - try to open Library settings then click on column named "Category" in columns section and look what the type of the column.

• If type is Choice

Click on this column and add new category

• If type is Lookup

Click on this column and look what is the name of lookup list
Click on Site contents(gear in the upper right corner -> Site contents)
Open lookup list
Add new item in this list

• If type is Single line of text

Just add new item in your library and fill new category value in the field "Category"
