2.1. Adding Folders

Up one level
Adding folders to a Plone web site is the basic way of controlling the organization of content.

You have undoubtedly created folders (directories) on your computer.  On Windows PC systems a hierarchy of folders is often created on c: or d: hard drives, or within a Documents folder.  On the Mac and other systems, folders are created in a similar fashion.  Plone folders are essentially identical, except that they are created on a Plone web site, for organizing content in Plone's built-in storage system.

Folders are added by clicking the add item menu (You need to be logged in to see the add item menu):

After clicking to add a folder, you'll see the folder edit panel, under the edit tab:

Fill in the title, which is required, as indicated by the red square.  The description is optional; you can always come back to the edit panel if you need to add a description of the folder.
