Creating & Managing Folders

Folders help you keep your content organized and easy to find — especially when managing lots of videos, images, or documents. 

Creating a Folder 

  1. From the Home page or your Media Library, click the Create Folder button near the top right. 
  2. Fill out the Folder Attributes: 
    • Name 
      Give your folder a clear, descriptive name. 
    • Folder Permission 
      Choose who can see this folder by default (e.g., All Users, Teachers and Above, etc.). 
    • Parent Folder 
      Select where this folder should live — by default it will be created under Home, but you can also nest it inside another folder. 
    • Description (optional) 
      Add context or notes to help you or others understand what’s inside. 
  3. Sharing Settings 
    Want to share this folder outside of your organization? You can: 
    • Share Folder with Link 
    • Share Folder as Playlist  Create a playlist with the content from your folder (only works with video and audio files) 
Warning

Sharing via link overrides internal permissions. Use caution when sending links publicly.

  1. Thumbnail
    Upload a custom thumbnail image to represent your folder visually. 
  2. Thumbnail Alternate Text
    Add alt text for accessibility purposes — a short description of the image. 
  3. Add to Groups
    Select one or more Groups to share this folder with immediately. 
  4. Click Create to finish. 

Once created, your folder will appear in your library, ready to use and manage. 

Managing Your Folders 

Once a folder is created, you can: 

  • Update it by clicking the three-dot menu (⋮) and choosing Update Attributes.
  • Delete it using the same menu.
  • Add or remove content using drag-and-drop or the bulk actions menu.
  • Share the folder by adding it to a Group.

Uploading Into Folders 

Want to keep things organized from the start? You can upload content directly into a specific folder instead of moving it later. 

  1. Navigate to the folder where you want to upload your content. 
  2. Click the Upload to Folder button. 
  3. Choose how you’d like to upload your content.

Once uploaded, your content will appear inside the folder — already organized and ready to go.
