# Creating and Maintaining Folders

## Folders help you organize and group objects in the "placed objects" menu panel.

**Why use folders? **

Folders help organize all placed objects. For events with high object counts, finding and organizing placed objects in the menu can be challenging.

**How?**

***Creating a folder:***

1. Create an **empty **folder by clicking on the folder icon button in the placed objects menu.

2. Create a folder by selecting an object or multiple objects (hold Ctrl button), then clicking the folder icon button.

***Move objects into a folder:***

You can move an object into a folder by clicking and dragging it into the folder of choosing.

***Delete a folder:***

There are two ways to delete folders:

1. Select the folder and press Delete on your keyboard.
2. Right-click on the folder to open the right click menu and click delete

**NOTE:** Deleting a folder also deletes all objects within it, and is not reversable. Once deleted, the folder and objects within cannot be recovered.
