Folder layer

The Folder layer

Folders are a good way to bundle assets. They are very easy to find and allow immediate access. You can create and delete folders at any time. To add an asset to a "Folder", at least one folder must first be selected in the Folder layer in the menu bar. Click on the "Folder" button in the menu bar.

The "Folder list" button

In the Folder layer, click the "Folder list" button in the upper right corner. This will open a new window that allows you to edit the folders.

Editing folders

In the new window, you can either add a new folder or edit existing folders.

Adding a folder

Click the "Add folder" button to create a new folder. Name the folder and click "Apply."

When you click on a folder, all assets assigned to that folder are displayed. When you click on the orange hamburger button of an individual asset, various editing options are displayed. By clicking on the "Add to folder" or "Remove from folder" buttons, you can easily perform those actions.

For more details on all the editing options, please see the Editing individual assets page.

The "Add to stock" button

Note: Only when you click on the eye-shaped symbol "Add to Stock" will the folder will become visible. The eye-shaped symbol becomes orange. Folders can be set as either public or private; multiple users can access public folders.

In the example above, the folder "CreateCtrl Videos" has been made visible. Once you close the window and return to the Folder layer, the selected folder or folders will be displayed. When a folder is selected, assets can either be added to the folder, or assets that are already in the folder can be edited.
