This seems to have been on the roadmap for a while. Would love to see it bumped up in priority.

Ability to Convert Category "page" to an article

I'd like to be able to convert a category of the "page" type into an article.

And it also affects analytics when you cannot convert articles to categories and vice versa in that there is not a unique ID that can be carried across.

Allow creation of sub articles for articles
Shalini S
Currently, we can create sub articles only under category pages. If we have to create a new sub article, we need to copy all content from an existing article to a category page and then create a sub article under the same. This is time consuming and also breaks links that were pointing to the original article. Please create a feature to allow creation of sub articles under articles directly.

Hi Shalini S, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that the current process of creating sub-articles only under category pages can be time-consuming and may cause link breakages.
At the moment, the ability to create sub-articles under articles is not part of our roadmap. However, we would like to understand if an alternative solution could address your need. If we introduce a feature to convert an article into a category page and vice versa, would that help streamline your workflow?
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Looking forward to your feedback!

This would be an optimal solution as currently it is necessary to create a new category (or article) and paste in the entire old article. While this is done easily enough, you lose the historical analytics of the original article since analytics are tracked to the internal filename.

A Burger, I requested this a few days ago was well. Agreed. Current solution is too time-consuming.

I totally agree. As I'm creating structure for my knowledge base there are time I want to nest articles, but I sometimes don't know that is the case until I've created several of them.
Having the ability to switch back and forth (or just having articles act like pages), would be very helpful in this process.

I would like to see an option to switch between article and page-type category interchangeably. As already mentioned by others, you may start with a single article and might want to convert it to a category and add sub-articles later. On the other hand, you may have a category with articles and later restructure and have only the page-type category left, which you still can expand although there are no articles within anymore.

Thiru Is there any update on this request? Additionally, can this request be merged into the following older request which is essentially the same? https://feedback.document360.com/feature-request/p/convert-article-into-a-category-of-type-page

I echo this request. I miss the article functionality (replicate, templates...) on categories, and I miss the category functionality (children assignment) on articles. I represent 24k readers and 40 editors.
