Just one step here. Open your category tree by clicking on the category folders and select one or multiple categories within it. Magento will show the number of products in a certain category, but will only update that number if you save your product.
Note
Note that it is also possible to add an item to a category from the Category Maintenance page. This is especially helpful if you need to assign a lot of items to one specific category. Instead of opening every single item one by one, you can go to the Categories function and add them all at once.

However, we haven't seen all the tabs yet and there are still some interesting functions that we will discuss in the remainder of this chapter.
