#### Video transcript

In this video, we're going to use Content Stack and create a new taxonomy for our superheroes. Let's get started. First, open Content Stack and navigate to the Entry Slip page. In the bottom left, notice we have taxonomies. We're going to click Create Taxonomy. In the Create Taxonomy window, let's go ahead and click New Taxonomy. For my taxonomy name, I'm going to use a taxonomy called Superhero Taxonomy. And click Create Taxonomy. That's it. Now, in our Superhero Taxonomy, we have some options to create a new term. So let's click Create Term. And this is going to be called Superhero Powers. And hit Save. And now we have the option to create some new terms under here, some child terms or sibling terms. So at this point, I want to create a new sibling term, and I can do that either here or also over there as well. And I'm going to create a child term, and I might say Flight. And hit Save. That's how easy it is to create a new taxonomy in Content Stack. Thank you.
