# How do I organize videos in folders?

Topic: [Getting started and account](https://mindstamp.com/help/getting-started) · Updated: 2026-09-25

## Short answer

Open **Folders** in the side menu, select **New Folder**, and give it a name. Open the folder and select **Edit Videos** to choose which videos belong in it. You can nest subfolders inside folders.

## Steps

1. In the side menu, under Organize, select **Folders**.
2. Select **New Folder**, enter a name, and save.
3. Open the folder. To add a folder inside it, select **New Subfolder**.
4. Select **Edit Videos**, choose the videos for this folder, and save.
5. Use the breadcrumb, starting at **All Folders**, to move back up.

_Folders keeps your library organized. Search, create a folder, or open one to see its videos._

## How folders work

- Each video sits in one folder at a time. Adding it to a new folder moves it.
- A folder page lists only the videos directly in it, not the videos in its subfolders.
- Folders can nest up to ten levels deep.
- A video card in the library shows its folder name. Select it to open the folder.
- In the video library, use the folder filter to show one folder's videos.

## Rename or delete a folder

Open the actions menu on a folder card and select **Rename** or **Delete**. Delete also removes its subfolders. The videos are not deleted; they only lose their folder.

The person who created a folder and the organization owner can rename it, delete it, and change its videos.

## Folders, groups, and playlists

- Folders organize your library. They do not change who can see a video.
- Groups share selected videos and reports with chosen people.
- Playlists put videos in order for viewers to watch.
