# Folders

> Organize your work into folders and subfolders, and manage them from the sidebar or Settings.

Folders are how you organize work in Studiograph — one per project, client, or team function. Every entry lives in a folder, and folders nest as deep as you like. Each folder also controls who can see what's inside it; see [Sharing & permissions](/workspace/sharing).

## Creating a folder

Anyone in the workspace can create a folder. You automatically become its Admin, and the folder starts private to you until you share it.

Where you start decides where the folder goes:

* **New folder** (from the **+** button) creates a top-level folder.
* **New subfolder** (from a folder's **…** menu) creates a folder inside that one — the dialog is titled **New subfolder in \[folder]** so there's no doubt.

You can also add top-level folders from **Settings → Manage folders** with the **Add Folder** button.

## Renaming a folder

Open the folder's **…** menu in the sidebar and choose **Rename**. The **Rename Folder** dialog updates the folder's name everywhere it appears.

## Nesting subfolders

Folders can contain subfolders at any depth — the sidebar shows them as an expandable tree. Sharing a folder covers everything nested inside it, so a subfolder is a good way to group work that should travel with its parent's access.

## Moving a folder

Choose **Move to...** from the folder's **…** menu. The **Move Folder** dialog shows a tree of possible destinations.

Moving a folder adds its new parent's access on top of its own — no one loses access. If you move a private folder into a shared one, the people who can see the destination can now see the moved folder too.

## Archiving a folder

Archiving is a reversible way to tidy up finished work. A folder Admin can choose **Archive** from the folder's **…** menu, or from the folder's page in **Settings → Manage folders**.

An archived folder disappears from the sidebar and from search results, but nothing inside it is lost — its name stays reserved and your saved view setups are kept. To bring it back, go to **Settings → Manage folders**, find it in the archived list, and click **Restore**.

## Deleting a folder

Deleting is permanent. The **Delete Folder** confirmation shows exactly what you're about to remove — the folder and everything inside it, with a count of entries and subfolders — and warns that it cannot be undone.

To delete from Settings, open the folder in **Settings → Manage folders** and use the **Danger zone** → **Delete permanently** action, which asks you to type the folder's name to confirm.

<Warning>
  Deleting a folder removes every entry and subfolder inside it. This cannot be undone — if you might need the work later, archive instead.
</Warning>

## Your starter folder

When you join a workspace, you get one folder of your own, named **\{First name}'s Folder**. It's an ordinary folder: private until you share it, renameable, and deletable. If you delete it, it's gone for good — Studiograph won't recreate it.
