Remove all existing category assignments from the selected products and replace them with new ones. This is a clean-slate approach — use it when you want to completely recategorize products.
This action removes all existing categories before assigning new ones. If you want to add categories without removing existing ones, use Assign to Categories instead.

​

Tips

  • This is the fastest way to move products from one category structure to another — no need to remove old categories first.
  • Use this when migrating to a new category tree or when restructuring your catalog.
  • Test on a small batch first to confirm the new category assignments look correct before applying to your full selection.
