Create, rename and delete folders

Folders let you organise documents in the archive. You can create your own folders and subfolders, rename them and delete them.

Create a new folder

  1. Go to Documents;

  2. Click the New folder button (top-right of the sidebar);
  3. Enter a Folder name;
  4. Choose a Colour;
  5. Click Create.

The new folder appears in the sidebar under My folders. To create a subfolder, open the context menu (three dots) of an existing folder and choose Add subfolder.

Rename a folder

  1. Go to Documents;
  2. Hover over the folder you want to rename and click the context menu (three dots);
  3. Click Rename;
  4. Update the Folder name and optionally the Colour;
  5. Click Save.

Only custom folders (under My folders) can be renamed. Fixed categories cannot be changed.

Delete a folder

  1. Go to Documents;
  2. Hover over the folder you want to delete and click the context menu (three dots);
  3. Click Delete;
  4. Choose what should happen to the contents:
    1. Move to parent folder — documents and subfolders move up one level;
    2. Move to trash — documents are moved to the recycle bin.
  5. Click Delete.

Only custom folders can be deleted. Fixed categories cannot be deleted.
