Folders help you organize your projects and information in a clear and structured way.
Below, you’ll find the different ways to create folders, along with how to manage them and control access.
Creating Folders
There are several ways to create a folder in Kitchen, depending on where you are in your workspace.
Option 1: From the “+” Button in the Sidebar
You can create a new folder from anywhere in your workspace using the + button at the top of the sidebar.
Click the + button and select Folder.
This opens the folder creation window, where you can:
Enter a name
Add a description (optional)
Choose a General Access setting
After clicking Save, the folder will appear at the top of your items list in the sidebar.
Option 2: From the Quick Access Buttons on the Home Page
You can also create a folder from the quick access buttons at the bottom of the Home Page.
Click New Folder to open the same folder creation window described above.
Once created, the folder will appear at the top of your sidebar.
Option 3: From the Create Button Inside an Existing Folder
You can create a subfolder inside an existing folder using the Create button.
Click it and select Folder to open the same creation window.
Note
By default, the new folder will use the same General Access setting as the parent folder.
If you keep this setting, the new folder will also inherit access for all users already added to the parent folder.
You can change the access level if needed and decide who to share the folder with.
Option 4: From the “+” Button Next to a Folder’s Name in the Sidebar
You can also create a subfolder by hovering over a folder in the sidebar and clicking the + button next to it.
This will create the new folder inside the selected one.
The same rules apply as in Option 3 regarding access settings and inherited users.
Folder General Access Settings
When creating a folder, you can choose its General Access level:
Private
Shared with Clients
Internal
This setting can be changed at any time.
For more details, see Access Levels and Resource Permissions in Kitchen.
Sharing Folders
Once a folder is created, you can share it with clients or team members using the Share button in the top-right corner.
To learn more about sharing resources, see Sharing Resources with Users in Your Workspace.
Managing Folder Settings
You can manage a folder using the settings (gear) icon in the top-right corner.
From there, you can:
Customize the folder’s icon and description
Move the folder
Copy the link to the folder
Duplicate it
Archive or delete it
Download the entire folder
Enable or disable commenting and approvals
Create a template from the folder
Most of these options are also available by hovering over the folder in the sidebar and clicking the three dots.
Note
Archiving a folder moves it to Browse → Archive.
Deleting a folder moves it to Browse → Trash.
You can restore it from there by opening the three-dot menu when you hover over the folder and selecting Restore.
Items in the Trash are permanently deleted after 30 days.
