View Folders

View folders allow you to organize your views into collapsible folders within the left sidebar. As the number of views in a table grows, folders help you group related views together, making it easier to navigate and manage your workspace. For example, you could create folders like "Reports", "Data Entry", or "Team Views" to keep things tidy.

Create a view folder

There are two ways to create a new view folder:

From the Create View menu

1. Click the + Create View button in the left sidebar, below the table name.
2. Click the View folder option at the bottom of the dropdown menu.
3. A new folder is created with a default name (e.g., "View folder"). You can immediately rename it by double-clicking on the folder name.

From the Move to menu

1. Right-click on a view or click the ellipsis symbol (...) next to a view name to open the view context menu.
2. Hover over Move to... to open the submenu.
3. Click New view folder to create a new folder and automatically move the selected view into it.

Rename a view folder

1. Double-click on the folder name in the left sidebar to enter edit mode.
2. Type the new name.
3. Press Enter to save, or press Escape to cancel.

Alternatively, you can rename a folder from the context menu:

1. Click the ellipsis symbol (...) on the folder header.
2. Select Rename view folder.
3. Type the new name and press Enter.

Move views into a folder

1. Click the ellipsis symbol (...) next to the view you want to move, or right-click on the view name.
2. Hover over Move to... in the context menu.
3. Select the target folder from the submenu.

The submenu displays all existing folders. You can also:

• Click New view folder to create a new folder and move the view into it in a single step.
• Click Remove from view folder (visible only when the view is already in a folder) to move the view back to the top level.

Remove a view from a folder

1. Click the ellipsis symbol (...) next to the view name inside a folder.
2. Hover over Move to... in the context menu.
3. Click Remove from view folder.

The view is moved back to the top-level view list, outside of any folder.

Expand and collapse folders

View folders are collapsible, allowing you to hide views you are not currently working with.

• Click on a folder header to toggle it between expanded and collapsed states.
• When collapsed, views inside the folder are hidden from the sidebar (except the currently active view, which always remains visible).

Expand all / Collapse all

To quickly expand or collapse every folder at once:

1. Click the ellipsis symbol (...) on any folder header.
2. Select Expand all or Collapse all.

Change folder icon colour

Each folder displays a folder icon whose colour can be customized.

1. Click the ellipsis symbol (...) on the folder header to open the context menu.
2. A colour palette is displayed under Icon colour.
3. Click on any colour to apply it, or click the More colours option to pick a custom colour.

Reorder folders

You can drag and drop folders to rearrange their order in the sidebar.

1. Click and hold a folder header.
2. Drag it to the desired position among other folders.
3. Release to drop it in place.

Delete a view folder

1. Click the ellipsis symbol (...) on the folder header.
2. Click Delete view folder.
3. A confirmation dialog appears, informing you that views inside the folder will be moved to the top level.
4. Click Delete to confirm.

Default folder

When at least one view folder exists in a table, a virtual Default folder is automatically displayed at the bottom of the folder list. This folder contains all views that have not been assigned to any folder. The Default folder cannot be renamed, deleted, or reordered, but it can be expanded and collapsed like any other folder.

Notes

• View folders are an organizational tool — they do not affect the data or configuration of the views inside them.
• View folders are scoped to individual tables. Each table has its own independent set of folders.
• All members of a workspace can see view folders. Only members with Creator permissions or above can create, rename, reorder, recolour, or delete folders. Editors can move views between existing folders but cannot create new folders — the New view folder entry in the "Move to…" submenu is disabled for editors with a tooltip explaining the restriction.
• When a folder is collapsed, the currently active view remains visible in the sidebar regardless of which folder it belongs to.
• Folders are also available at the base level for organizing tables, documents, and dashboards in the sidebar. See Folders.
