Create a Folder

1. Start by selecting the parent folder (i.e., the folder where the new folder should reside in, usually your main website folder) in the folder structure on the left. From the menu bar select New > Default > Folder.
   
   
2. Enter the desired name of the new folder under System Name (all lowercase, no spaces.)
   
   
   
   Do not hit Submit until you have specified the navigation behavior (step 3.) 
3. Click on the Metadata tab (not the Metadata Set) to specify navigation behavior (i.e. how the new folder should be handled by the website’s navigation.)
   
   
4. Under the Custom Metadata heading, select the desired left navigation behavior:
   
   
   
   • Use Parent Folder Setting – Select this option to default to the settings of the parent folder. If you are not sure what those settings are, you can always select Primary or Secondary Navigation depending on your need. 
   • Primary Navigation – Select this option if would like the folder to appear as a primary item in the navigation menu (see example below.)
   • Second Navigation – Select this option if you would like the folder to appear as a secondary item in the navigation menu (see example below.)
   • Hide in Left Navigation Unless Selected – Select this option if you do not want the folder to appear in the left navigation menu.  This option is used for folders such as a designated image or document folder, or for folders that you would like to place in the header navigation. Learn more about header navigation.
     
     
5. After you have selected the left navigation behavior, click the Submit button.  Your folder has now been created.
6. Before publishing the new folder, please be sure to add an index page to the folder. For your reference, please read about index pages.
