### How do I get (more) categories to filter on in the faceted track selector?

The faceted track selector displays all the different adapters, categories, and
all the metadata. Categories are also used to group tracks in the track selector.
New categories can be added with the `--category` option from `jbrowse add-track`.

Alternatively, you can add a metadata to a track, which will be used in the

"metadata": {
"origin": "public",
"data_added": "2024-02-20"
}

```
