Working in a New Folder

The Library Explorer is your base for working with all the objects in your Library. This is where you store and select the components that you'll assemble into documents.

Before beginning work on a new project, it is good practice to create a Folder to contain the new information. The sample library has a new folder already which we will rename to Notepad (the name of our new project).

To Rename a Folder

1. Right-click the (new folder) Folder, then from the shortcut menu choose Rename...

   

   The Rename Folder window appears.

2. Type Notepad (the new folder name), then click OK.

A little bit about Folders

Folders are a logical way to arrange objects within your Library. They can have security privileges set that determine who can create, modify, delete or even view objects within them.

• Moving an object from one Folder to another will not break any links it has with other objects.
• When a Folder is created, it inherits all the security settings from its parent Folder.
• If a Folder is moved, it retains its security settings.
• If using folder security, you must have permissions to delete the object in the Folder it is leaving and create the objects in the Folder it is entering when moving an object.
