# Category teaser (Modern)
The **ThemeWare® "Category teaser (Modern)"** automatically displays category data (name and image) from Shopware's category management and links to the respective category. It is the simplified modern variant based on the Modern teaser style. You can use the teaser in other CMS blocks too. Just try out different blocks (for example with a different number of columns) to personalise your Shopping Experience.
