# Activate or Deactivate Categories

You can use theCategoryActivate action to activate or deactivate a category. You cannot query inactive categories or return them as results. By default the Category component activates a category when it builds it. For example:

    action=CategoryActivate&Category=3234998760221&Active=True

In this example, the Category component activates the category with the ID `3234998760221`.

Use the CategoryGetHierDetails action to find out whether categories are active.
