## Remarks

A set of categories given to [DovetailContextBuilder](/Dovetail/api/joinery.dovetail/dovetailcontextbuilder.md) chooses which joints the context loads: the joints of those categories and the [DovetailCategory.Core](/Dovetail/api/joinery.dovetail/dovetailcategory/fields.md#core) joints, which are always loaded. An empty set loads the [DovetailCategory.Application](/Dovetail/api/joinery.dovetail/dovetailcategory/fields.md#application) joints and the [DovetailCategory.Core](/Dovetail/api/joinery.dovetail/dovetailcategory/fields.md#core) joints.
