via Category Maintenance
- In the CMS, navigate to Products & Categories→ Category Maintenance.
- Click the category name to drill down to the category you wish to add products to.
- Hover on Options and select Products from the menu.
- The category's current products will be displayed, with an indicator to show whether this category is the product's primary location (for SEO & breadcrumb purposes).
Once you've added products to the category, you'll need to clear the Product Cache in order for the products to show on the web. This is done in the CMS via Settings → Cache Management. 
If you've added new categories, you should also refresh the customer product cache. This is done via Advanced Settings → System Preferences. Select the Tools tab, then the Product Enquiry tab.
