• I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
  • Android: Native
  • Android: mWeb Chrome
  • iOS: Native
  • iOS: mWeb Safari
  • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • MacOS: Desktop
• I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
• I verified there are no new alerts related to the canBeMissing param for useOnyx

  • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
    • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
  • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
  • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
  • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.

• If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
• I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines

• I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
• I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
• If any new file was added I verified that:
  • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
• If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
  • A similar style doesn't already exist
  • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
• If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
  • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
  • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
• If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
• If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
• If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
• If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
• If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
  • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
  • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
• If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
• I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
• If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.
• I verified that similar component doesn't exist in the codebase
• I verified that all props are defined accurately and each prop has a /** comment above it */
• I verified that each file is named correctly
• I verified that each component has a clear name that is non-ambiguous and the purpose of the component can be inferred from the name alone
• I verified that the only data being stored in component state is data necessary for rendering and nothing else
• In component if we are not using the full Onyx data that we loaded, I've added the proper selector in order to ensure the component only re-renders when the data it is using changes
• For Class Components, any internal methods passed to components event handlers are bound to this properly so there are no scoping issues (i.e. for onClick={this.submit} the method this.submit should be bound to this in the constructor)
• I verified that component internal methods bound to this are necessary to be bound (i.e. avoid this.submit = this.submit.bind(this); if this.submit is never passed to a component event handler like onClick)
• I verified that all JSX used for rendering exists in the render method
• I verified that each component has the minimum amount of code necessary for its purpose, and it is broken down into smaller components in order to separate concerns and functions

@JS00001 one last thing I just found:

Mobile selection mode stays enabled after deleting the last category

On main, we call useAutoTurnSelectionModeOffWhenHasNoActiveOption(categoryList). When the last category is deleted, selection mode gets turned off automatically.

In this PR, that hook was removed and we now rely on selection.ts turning selection mode off when selectableKeys.length === 0. The problem is that this only works while the table is mounted. When the last category is deleted online, hasVisibleCategories becomes false, the table unmounts, and selection mode can stay enabled with a broken header (select/deselect buttons but no rows).

I think it would be better to:

1. Update useAutoTurnSelectionModeOffWhenHasNoActiveOption to support both isDisabled and disabled so it can be reused by other table migrations as well.
2. Call it with categoryRows.
3. Clear selectedCategoryKeys when turning selection mode off since clearSelection() won't run after the table unmounts.

A simple useEffect on hasVisibleCategories would probably fix it too, but extending the existing hook feels cleaner and more reusable.

[JS00001]

@Krishna2323 updated to put the empty state inside of the table.The main goal w/ the table is to not require external logic for managing the state of the table, so I think its best to use this existing logic by not unmounting:

App/src/components/Table/middlewares/selection.ts

Line 65 in 5e2ab08

useEffect(() => {

🤖 Help site review: no documentation changes required.

I reviewed the changes in this PR against the help site articles under App/docs/articles and concluded no updates are needed. I did not create a draft PR.

Why

This PR is an internal UI/component refactor — it migrates the Categories table to the shared Table component (new styling), adds checkbox support and shift‑click range selection to that shared component, and shows the Approver column on the Control plan. None of these change a documented user-facing workflow:

• Bulk selection via checkboxes is already documented in Create-expense-categories.md: "Bulk actions are available using the checkboxes and Selected menu." Shift‑click range selection is an input shortcut on top of the existing checkbox flow, not a distinct feature.
• The Approver column is not new. The diff shows shouldShowApproverColumn (Control plan + rules enabled) already existed before this PR — the refactor just moves it into the new table row component. The Approver capability is already documented under How to configure Category Rules → Approver.
• Name / GL code / Enabled columns and the enable/disable, GL code, and CSV import workflows are unchanged and already covered.
• The remaining changes (new table styles, sorting, narrow‑layout handling) are visual/structural and not the kind of workflow content the help site documents.

If you intended a specific user-facing behavior to be documented that I may have missed, reply with @MelvinBot <details> and I'll re-review.

---

@JS00001, since no help site changes were required, no draft PR was created. Please confirm you agree this PR doesn't alter any documented behavior. If you'd like a docs update for a specific point (e.g., calling out shift‑click range selection), let me know and I'll open a draft PR.

[MelvinBot]

I reviewed the changes in this PR against the help site articles under App/docs/articles.

Verdict: One small docs update is needed.

This PR is primarily a UI restyle of the workspace Categories table, plus checkbox bulk-selection and shift-click multi-select. Most of that is already covered (or doesn't need coverage):

• Visual restyle — non-functional, not documented at the layout level.
• Checkbox bulk selection — already documented in Create-expense-categories.md ("Bulk actions are available using the checkboxes and Selected menu.").
• Shift-click multi-select — a power-user keyboard interaction, not documented per Expensify conventions.
• Assigning a category Approver — already documented under Category Rules.

The one gap: the article enumerates the table's columns as Name, GL Code, and Enabled, but this PR adds an Approver column on the Control plan. I updated that sentence so the column list matches the current UI.
