Organize with folders
Keep a space tidy with folders.
Intermediate · ~5 min · Prerequisites: editor access to a space
Editing a Space's content requires editor or owner access. Viewers can open and read a Space but can't change it.
What you'll do
Create folders inside a Space, move documents into them, nest folders to match your team's mental model, and reorder everything by dragging.
Create a folder
Open the Space in the sidebar and switch to Browse. Click New and choose Folder. Give it a short, descriptive name — use the same naming convention you use for docs so teammates can predict where things live.
Move documents in
Drag a document from the Space's flat list and drop it onto a folder. Alternatively, open the document's row menu (the ⋯ icon) and choose Move to pick a destination from a dialog. The document is available to all Space members at its new path immediately.
Nest folders
To create a subfolder, open an existing folder and use New → Folder from inside it. Nesting works well for Spaces with multiple projects or topic areas — for example, a Marketing Space might have a top-level Campaigns folder with one subfolder per campaign. Keep nesting shallow (two or three levels) so members can find things without expanding many layers.
Reorder
Drag folders and documents up or down in the Browse list to set the order that appears for all Space members. Put the most-used content at the top. For reference on what Browse shows and how Space content is structured, see Creating & browsing spaces.
