[Projects Overview](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#projects-overview) # Folders ## Folders let you organise the projects, networks, datasets, and other assets in a workspace into a clear, navigable structure. Folders sit inside a workspace and group the assets you create — Plan projects, Networks, Datasets, Streets, Tilesets, and Insight analyses. They make it easier to keep large workspaces tidy and to find things quickly. ![Screenshot 2026-05-15 at 16.02.29](https://support.podaris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-05-15%20at%2016.02.29.png?width=670&height=314&name=Screenshot%202026-05-15%20at%2016.02.29.png) ### Creating a folder 1. On the home screen, navigate to the workspace and folder where you want the new folder to live. Folders cannot be created outside of workspaces. 2. Click **New** and select **Folder**. 3. Enter a **name** and an optional **description**, then save. Folder names can contain letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, and hyphens. Two folders in the same location cannot share a name.   ### Navigating folders Folders are shown as cards alongside the assets in the current location. Click a folder card to open it. The breadcrumbs at the top of the home screen show your current path — click any segment to jump back to that level. You can nest folders up to **five levels deep**.   ### Editing, moving, and deleting Each folder card has an actions menu with three options: - **Edit**: change the folder's name or description. - **Move**: relocate the folder to a different workspace or parent folder. You will be prompted to select the destination. A folder cannot be moved into itself or any of its own subfolders, and you cannot move a folder if doing so would exceed the five-level nesting limit. - **Delete**: remove the folder. This option is only available when the folder is \*\*empty\*\*: it must contain no projects and no subfolders. Move or delete the contents first if you need to remove a folder that is not empty. Projects, networks, and other assets can also be moved into and out of folders from their own action menus, or by dragging and dropping.   ### Things to keep in mind - Folders are scoped to a single workspace, but you can move both folders and projects across workspaces from the Move dialog. - Folder permissions follow the workspace — anyone with access to the workspace can see the folder structure. - Folder names are limited to 100 characters; descriptions to 500. - [Welcome](https://support.podaris.com/welcome?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Introduction](https://support.podaris.com/welcome?hsLang=en#introduction) - [Getting Started](https://support.podaris.com/welcome?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Key Concepts](https://support.podaris.com/welcome?hsLang=en#key-concepts) - [Obtaining Further Help](https://support.podaris.com/welcome?hsLang=en#obtaining-further-help) - [Projects](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Projects Overview](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#projects-overview) - [Adding & Importing Sources](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#adding-importing-sources) - [Privacy Settings](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#privacy-settings) - [Collaborator Permissions](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#collaborator-permissions) - [Configuring Notifications](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#configuring-notifications) - [Project Menu](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#project-menu) - [Project Settings](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#project-settings) - [Projects FAQ](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#projects-faq) - [User Settings](https://support.podaris.com/projects?hsLang=en#user-settings) - [Planning & Engineering](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Plan Overview](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#plan-overview) - [Tools](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#tools) - [Controls](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#controls) - [Panels](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#panels) - [Modes](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#modes) - [Custom Tilesets](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#custom-tilesets) - [Datasets](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#datasets) - [Isochrones](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#isochrones) - [Optimising](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#optimising) - [Planning FAQ](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#planning-faq) - [Tutorials](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#tutorials) - [Terminology](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#terminology) - [Networks](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#networks) - [Streets](https://support.podaris.com/planning-engineering?hsLang=en#streets) - [Scheduled Services](https://support.podaris.com/scheduled-services?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Terminology](https://support.podaris.com/scheduled-services?hsLang=en#terminology) - [Creating a Route (Tutorial)](https://support.podaris.com/scheduled-services?hsLang=en#creating-a-route-tutorial) - [GTFS Import](https://support.podaris.com/scheduled-services?hsLang=en#gtfs-import) - [Route Settings](https://support.podaris.com/scheduled-services?hsLang=en#route-settings) - [Analysis](https://support.podaris.com/scheduled-services?hsLang=en#analysis) - [Tutorials](https://support.podaris.com/scheduled-services?hsLang=en#tutorials) - [GTFS Export](https://support.podaris.com/scheduled-services?hsLang=en#gtfs-export) - [Demand Responsive Transport Services](https://support.podaris.com/demand-responsive-transport-services?hsLang=en) - [Stakeholder Engagement](https://support.podaris.com/stakeholder-engagement?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Engage](https://support.podaris.com/stakeholder-engagement?hsLang=en#engage) - [Creating Screenshots](https://support.podaris.com/stakeholder-engagement?hsLang=en#creating-screenshots) - [Demand Modelling](https://support.podaris.com/demand-modelling?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Tutorials](https://support.podaris.com/demand-modelling?hsLang=en#tutorials) - [Glossary](https://support.podaris.com/demand-modelling?hsLang=en#glossary) - [Accounts & Billing](https://support.podaris.com/accounts-billing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accounts FAQ](https://support.podaris.com/accounts-billing?hsLang=en#accounts-faq) - [Organisations](https://support.podaris.com/accounts-billing?hsLang=en#organisations) - [Plugins and Integrations](https://support.podaris.com/plugins-and-integrations?hsLang=en) - [Podaris:Insight](https://support.podaris.com/podarisinsight?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://support.podaris.com/podarisinsight?hsLang=en#general) - [Analysis Types](https://support.podaris.com/podarisinsight?hsLang=en#analysis-types) - [FAQ](https://support.podaris.com/podarisinsight?hsLang=en#faq) - [Tutorials](https://support.podaris.com/podarisinsight?hsLang=en#tutorials) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.podaris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/podaris_logo-1.png?width=142&height=55&name=podaris_logo-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://support.podaris.com?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2026, Podaris Limited
