Keywords are individual words or short phrases used to describe the contents of each element.
Categories are used to group elements that you feel belong together thematically. This could be for example because they all appear in a particular chapter of your work.
The third option, groups, is for elements that are not necessarily thematically related but belong together for other, more general reasons. For example, you can make a group of references that you want to delete, or references that you consider particularly important. Groups are not available for use in Word.
