It's highly important to structure team communication in your Workspace. Creating a folder helps to subdivide a workspace into smaller groups according to some organizational structure. You can't write or perform any actions in a folder. Once a user joins a folder, this user will see all public channels inside this folder.

To create a new Folder in your Workspace, follow these steps:

Option 1

  1. Click on the channel link Create New Folder under the Workspace name;

  2. Type in a channel name in the pop-up window;

  3. Choose Folder location and select users who will be added as Folder members;

  4. (Optional) Click Options, type in a channel description and (optional) choose the way you want the Folder’s subchannels to be sorted;

  5. Click Create.

A new Folder has been created!

Option 2

  1. Hover your cursor over the Workspace name in the Leverice channel tree;

  2. Click the button that appears immediately to the right of the Workspace name;

  3. Click New;

  4. Click Folder;

  5. Type in a channel name in the pop-up window;

  6. Choose Folder location and select users who will be added as Folder members;

  7. (Optional) Click Options and type in a channel description and choose the way you want to sort the Folder's subchannels (Optional!);

  8. Click Create.

All the Workspace Members are added as Members of a top-level Folder by default.

If we create a sub-folder, the parent folder members are added by default.
