Create & edit folders
Create folders
Folders are used to clearly structure documents and subfolders. Content can be bundled thematically and found more easily, which makes everyday project work more efficient. A folder is created directly in the structure using the "Create" button. To make this possible, write permission is required for the current folder. At the top level, this right is reserved exclusively for Project administrators.

Folders can be customized to keep the structure up to date and meaningful. Which changes are possible depends on the user's viewing rights. You can find more information on this in the article: Visibilities & authorizations of folders & documents.
