Using Folders

By default, uploaded files are stored in the Documents and Media root folder (i.e., Home), but you can create additional folders to organize and manage your files. Each folder can have its own workflow configuration, so you can define review and approval processes for its files. You can also configure a folder’s permissions to ensure only authorized users can access its files.

Adding Folders

  1. Open the Documents and Media application in the desired site or asset library.

  2. Click New and select Folder.

    Click on the Add button and select Folder.

  3. Enter a name for your new folder.

  4. (Optional) Enter a folder description.

  5. (Optional) Configure permissions for the folder.

    Enter a folder description and configure folder permissions.

  6. Click Save to create your new folder.

Once created, the folder appears in the Documents and Media application. You can create subfolders by opening the desired folder and repeating the above process.
