Working with Folders

All documents are stored in folders. It is similar to what is done on a local hard drive. Folders are logical collections of documents that are arranged in a hierarchical tree starting from the root folder. Organizing folders in an appropriate and consistent manner will enable you to better navigate and find your documents.

Folders can be navigated by using the navigation bar located on the left.  It will list the folders that you have the permission to view.

When you click on a folder’s name, the documents contained in this folder are shown on the right, and the folder's detailed panel appears at the bottom.

Some attributes of the folder such as the name or the description are editable in this panel. Otherwise, right-clicking on the folder will open a contextual menu with a set of possible operations.

Remember that the folder is a structural element and that it is used to restrict document access to specific user profiles.

Workspaces

Workspaces are particular first-level folders that you can distinguish by the blue icon. Users can only see the individualized workspaces where they have read permission. You can use these special folders to partition your repository into a set of main areas.
