How to organize boards with folders
Folders help you keep your boards organized — especially useful if you have many boards for different classes, subjects, or projects.
Creating a folder
- On the home page, click the New folder button.
- Enter a name for the folder.
- Click Create.
Moving boards into a folder
- On the home page, click the three-dot menu on the board you want to move.
- Select Move to folder.
- Choose the destination folder and confirm.
You can also drag and drop boards into folders.
Navigating folders
- Click a folder to open it and see the boards inside.
- Use the breadcrumb navigation at the top to go back to parent folders.
- Folders can contain other folders, so you can create a nested hierarchy.
Viewing folders shared with you
Folders shared with you by others appear in the Shared with me section on the home page. Click it to browse all shared folders. If you are an Editor of a folder, you can create boards and subfolders inside it.
Renaming and deleting folders
- Click the three-dot menu on a folder to rename or delete it.
- Only the folder owner can delete a folder. Editors can rename and move folders but cannot delete them.
- Deleting a folder does not delete the boards inside — they will be moved to the parent folder.
