The folder is added to the respective library section. By default, the folder is named New Folder.

After creation, the folder is automatically added in edit mode. Therefore, you can change its name directly after creating the folder. To do so, enter the name and press Enter.

After saving the folder name, the library automatically reloads its content and sorts it according to your sorting preferences.

Important

You cannot create and save folders in the following library sections:

  • Favorites

  • Corporate Design Templates

  • empower Elements

  • Integration folders (such as Icons8 or Unsplash)

However, you can create and save folders in the subfolders of the sections Corporate Design Templates and empower Elements.

Note

Alternatively, you can create a new folder by opening the parent folder's context menu in the folder tree or by opening the context menu in the empty item view and choosing the option New Folder (Figure 56, “Option New Folder in Context Menu”).

If you create a new folder in the section User Library via the empower® Web App or via the Office Online applications, this folder will be automatically added under My Content to your User Library in the empower® Library for all desktop applications.

Note
