1. Next to the existing folder, from the Add menu, choose Create Folders.
2. Next to "Folder Name", enter a title for your folder.

   Note: Avoid using unsupported characters in folder titles; see Unsupported characters.

3. To add a description and control who can access the contents of the folder, click Add details for this item. For more information, see Changing the permissions for a folder in Resources.
4. To create another folder, click Add Another Folder.

   Note: To remove a folder from the list of folders to add, click the red X next to it.

5. Click Create Folders Now.

Editing a folder

To edit the name, description, or availability and access settings for a folder, mouse over Actions, and click Revise Details. Make your changes, and then click Update to save them.
