Folders organize files and Canvases together inside a Workspace. Use a folder for a project, account, or subject, then keep its Canvas beside the files it uses.

Create a folder

1

Choose the location

Expand a Workspace in the left rail. Right-click the Workspace or the folder where the new folder belongs.
2

Create and name it

Choose New folder and enter a name.
3

Add work

Drag files or Canvases into the folder, or create them there from its menu. Use Upload folder to bring in a folder from your computer.

Move and rename

Drag an item onto a folder to move it, or use Move to in its menu. Folder locations are shared structure: organizing a shared Workspace changes where teammates find its files and Canvases. Chats aren’t filed in the shared folder tree. Their conversations remain private.

Folders and Canvas sections

A folder changes where an item is filed in the Workspace. A section groups cards on a Canvas. Use folders to find work later and sections to arrange the material you’re working with now. Moving a file’s reference on a Canvas doesn’t move its original in the Workspace. See Files in Cohesive.
