Adding, Renaming and Deleting Folders


Adding new folders and sub-folders is an easy process using either the Navigator Toolbar, Right-Click Menu or the Main Menu.



Folders or Sub-Folders - what's the difference?

There is no real difference between a Folder and a Sub-Folder. The terms are used to describe the items in the Navigator. A Sub-Folder is just a normal Folder but it's location (or level) is inside another folder:


                                                            


In reality they are all sub-folders because they all belong under the section root folder. When you add a Sub-Folder, the new sub-folder will be directly under the selected folder. However, if you add a Folder, the new folder will be on the same level as the selected folder. eg: "Business" is on the same level as "Family" and "Friends", but "Abroad" is a sub-folder of "Business".
