Project categories in the local repository help you organize and structure your local projects, providing a more efficient project management experience. You can create, delete, rename, and move projects between them. Category management commands are available in the toolbar of the Manage Projects dialog and the shortcut menus of categories and projects.

The Standard Libraries category is pre-populated with the SysML v2 standard libraries required for modeling. It is created automatically when the SysML v2 Plugin is first launched and cannot be edited or deleted.

The project categories are highlighted in the image.
