Displaying Content with the Taxonomy Widget

Taxonomy widgets are designed to display a list of taxonomy terms that you have added to one of your site’s vocabularies.

Finding Your Taxomony Widgets

Each vocabulary that you create automatically generates its own Taxonomy widget.

For example, if you create a vocabulary for Publications, then a Publications Taxonomy Widget is created and available for you in the unused widget gallery to add to your page layout.

You can use this functionality to group pieces of content into smaller, more specific categories. You can learn more on the taxonomy vocabulary page
