For example, if a product is in the main category __Cups__ and the similar category __Jars__, when you access the __Jars__ category, you will not see the __American Cups__ filter (which is part of the main __Cups__ category).\n\nSimilarly, if you filter for __Glass Cups__ in the __Jars__ category, you will not see the glass cups, since it is impossible to populate a similar category field for a product in the main category.\n\nTo configure a similar category at product level, follow the steps below:\n\n1. In the VTEX Admin, go to **Catalog > Products and SKUs**, or type [Products and SKUs](/en/docs/tutorials/products-and-skus) in the search bar at the top of the page.\n2.

In the **Storefront** section, add the desired categories in the **Similar Categories** field.\n4. Click `Save`.\n\n## Configuring similar category within a category\n\n> ⚠️ This setting is only compatible with stores using [Legacy CMS Portal](/en/docs/tracks/legacy-cms-portal).\n\nWhen editing a category, you can set up its like category. When you complete this kind of configuration at category level, the navigation menu will display a link to the similar category at the original category level.\n\nTo configure a similar category at category level, follow the steps below:\n\n1. In the VTEX Admin, go to **Catalog > Categories**, or type **Categories** in the search bar at the top of the page.\n2. Click `Show All` to view all options, then on the desired category.\n3.
