Unfortunately it doesn’t work and I haven’t found an alternative solution 🙁

tried this hack today, but doesn’t seem to work anymore? I’m guessing this might be related to zwifts new home screen UI? Any ideas on how we could re-introduce this hack?

thanks for the help this is perfect for me

Just add the new category to the file manually

workout.categories actually only contains a subset of the categories. Zwift shows the categories it finds in workout.categories first and then all other categories. Zwift does not update the workout.categories file but you can use it to override the sort order.

I just tested it with this small file:

<workout_categories>

<category>Custom Workouts</category>
<category>Your First Century</category>
<category>Zwift Academy 2019</category>

</workout_categories>

It puts these three categories at top of the list and lets Zwift sort the other.

(I have also deleted the old workout.categories from the Program Files folder)

I did a test with a new training with a new category and in the menu it creates the category well but I do not find anything in the workouts categories file 🙁

I’m not sure it will work but will be interested to hear back from you.

thanks I will try

This is the default content in the current version of Zwift:

<workout_categories>

</workout_categories>


I can see that Zwift tries to read workout.categories from the folder Documents\Zwift\Workouts. You could try manually creating the file here instead and see how it goes.
