Create a Folder

Follow these steps to create a new folder for your pages or files:

1. Click “Add Content.”
   From the “Add Content” button, start by choosing to add a new item.
2. Select “Folder.”
   This will open the editing window.
3. Rename the Folder.
   In the Folder Name field, enter a short, lowercase name using hyphens instead of spaces (for example: graduate-programs).
4. Check the Placement Folder.
   Make sure the folder is being created in the correct location within your site structure.
5. Add a Display Name (Optional).
   If the folder will appear in the side navigation, add a Display Name.
   • Folders containing multiple pages will appear as a nested menu in the side navigation. The display name will be the name of the nested menu.
6. Leave “Start navigation at this folder?” set to No.
   Only top-level and department folders start a new navigation.
7. Update Properties for File Folders.
   If the folder will contain files such as images or PDFs, go to the Properties tab at the top of the edit window.
   • Deselect “Include when indexing.” This prevents image or document folders from showing in the side menu.
     
8. Click “Submit.”
   Once everything looks correct, click Submit to create your new folder.
