Folders

Folders let you group tables, documents, and dashboards into collapsible sections in the base sidebar. As a base grows, folders keep the sidebar navigable: separate delivery work from finance, keep a dashboard next to the tables it draws from, or mirror how your teams split the work.

Create a folder

There are two ways to create a folder:

• Open the Create New menu at the top of the sidebar and choose Folder. The same option is available from the + button in the mini sidebar.

  

  

• Open an item's context menu (...), hover over Move to..., and click New folder. The item is moved into the new folder in the same step.

New folders get a default name ("Folder", "Folder 2", and so on). Double-click the folder name to rename it.

Move items in and out

• Drag a table, document, or dashboard into a folder, or drag it back out to the top level.
• Or use the item's context menu: hover over Move to... and pick the target folder. Choose Remove from folder to move the item back to the top level.

Manage folders

Click the ... on a folder header for its actions:

• Expand all / Collapse all - expand or collapse every folder at once.
• Icon colour - pick a colour for the folder icon, or Reset it to the default.
• Rename folder and Delete folder.

Deleting a folder does not delete anything inside it: all items move back to the top level of the sidebar.

Notes

• Folders are scoped to a data source: a base with an external data source gets its own set of folders per source, and folder names only need to be unique within their source.
• Folders organize the sidebar only; they do not change permissions or how items behave.
• To organize views inside a table the same way, see View Folders.
