Folders

Folders are how you organise a growing library in the Explorer. Every document lives in exactly one folder, or in none, and folders can nest inside other folders, so you can shape your work into whatever tree fits how you think.

Creating a folder

Use the Create button at the top right of any Explorer section:

• New Folder adds a folder at the current level.
• Inside a folder, the same button reads New Subfolder, so you can nest as deep as you need.

A new folder starts named "New folder" and ready to rename. Your folder tree shows under My documents in the sidebar, so every folder is one click away.

Putting documents in folders

• Move an existing document. Open a document row's menu and choose Move to folder…. The picker is the same browser as the new-document Save in step: pick My documents or a team first, then click into the folder you want. When the document already sits in a folder, the picker opens right there, that folder selected, with the back button leading up. A New Folder tile at the bottom creates one on the spot, and it follows your selection: with a folder selected it reads New Subfolder and creates inside that folder, with the space itself selected it creates at the top level. Press Move here, or double-click the destination to move in one go.
• Create straight into a folder. Open the folder first, then Create → New document, and the new document lands inside it.

Renaming and deleting

In the card view a folder shows a small mosaic of what's inside it — the document snapshots it holds, then its subfolders — so you can tell two similarly-named folders apart by sight rather than by reading. An empty folder keeps the plain folder glyph.

Each folder row has a menu to rename, add a subfolder, move, choose what it is the default folder for, or delete it. Deleting a folder doesn't delete your documents: the documents and subfolders directly inside it move up into the folder it sat in, or to the root of My documents for a top-level folder. A subfolder keeps everything inside it, so a whole branch moves up one level intact.
