# Organizing assets with folders

Folders in the Media Library help you organize uploaded assets. Folders sit at the top of the Media Library view or are accessible from the Media field popup when using the Content Manager.

From the Media Library, it is possible to:

  • view the list of folders
  • navigate inside a folder by double-clicking it to display the assets the folder contains
  • create new folders
  • edit an existing folder
  • move a folder
  • delete a folder

Moving an uploaded asset to an existing folder is done by individually editing the asset.

# Adding folders

To create a new folder in the Media Library:

  1. Click on Add new folder on the upper right of the Media Library interface.
  2. In the "Add new folder" popup, type a name for the new folder in the Folder name field.
  3. (optional) In the Folder location drop-down list, choose a location for the new folder. The default location is the root of the Media library.
  4. Click Save.

✏️ NOTE

There is no limit to how deep your folders hierarchy can go, but bear in mind it might take some effort to reach a deeply nested folder as the Media Library currently has no visual hierarchy indication. Searching for files using the Search icon on the right side of the user interface might be a faster alternative to finding the asset you are looking for.
