How do I manage folders and permissions in Docs?

Folder management

The Docs app uses a hierarchical tree structure of folders to organize documents.

Create a folder

From the Docs app, click the folder creation button. Each folder can contain subfolders and documents.

A breadcrumb trail (breadcrumb) makes it easy to orient yourself and quickly return to parent folders.

Actions on folders

  • Create a subfolder

  • Rename a folder

  • Move a folder to another location

  • Delete a folder (and its contents)

Folder permissions

Visibility

Folders at first level (root) may have restricted visibility:

  • The entire organization : all collaborators have access

  • Specific communities : only members of the selected communities can see the folder

Subfolders inherit the visibility of the parent folder.

Contributors

It is possible to define who can add documents to a folder:

  • All users with access to the folder

  • Administrators only

Bulk actions

Multiple selection makes it possible to perform bulk actions on several documents or folders:

  • Delete multiple items

  • Move multiple items

Display and sorting

  • Grid view or list view

  • Sort by : alphabetical name, creation date, file size

  • Filter by type : folders, PDF, videos, images

  • Filter by community

What the assistant can do

With the scope Documents, the assistant can browse folders, search for documents, rename and move items.
