Overview

Folders help you keep your workspace organised and easy to navigate. By grouping related projects or content, they reduce clutter and make it faster to find what you need.

Folders are available in both the overall workspace overview and through the menu on the left. When opening the workspace it will always show the latest four folders that have been used for projects.

As in the project overview, you can choose between list view and card view. Select the view you prefer to display folders accordingly. 

Folders display the following information:

  • Name: the name of the folder.
  • Date of creation: when the folder was created.
  • Number of projects: the amount of projects the folder contains.

When clicking on a folder it will show you all projects in the selected preferred view.

How to create a folder

In the top-right corner of the workspace, click Create new folder. A dialog box will appear where you can enter a name for your folder. After naming it, click Create new folder again to confirm. Your folder is now ready to use.

    • Save time by creating a folder during the project upload process. For more details, see our article on creating projects HERE
    • Projects cannot be deleted. As a best practice, we recommend creating a dedicated folder—such as Cancelled or Bin —to store projects that are no longer needed. This helps keep your workspace organised while preserving important records.

How to rename a folder

Renaming a folder is quick and easy. Hover over the folder and click on the three dots for more options.

In the dialog box select Rename folder. A window will appear where you can enter the new folder name.

Click Update to save your changes, or Cancel to discard them.

Your folder is now renamed!

How to delete a folder

To delete a folder, hover your mouse over the folder you want to remove,click on the three dots for more options and select Delete folder.

A confirmation window will open to ensure you want to proceed. Click the red Delete folder button to permanently remove the folder.

If the folder contains any projects, they will not be deleted. Instead, they will return to the main project overview and appear in the correct numerical order for easy locating.

Warning:

  • Deleting a folder is permanent and cannot be undone.

How to move a project to another folder

In the folder view, hover over the project you want to move, click on the three dots for more options and select Move to folder.

A window will open showing all available folders. Click the folder you want to move the project to, and the project will be relocated automatically.

Good to know:

    • It is not possible to move a project out of a folder.
