Folders & subfolders

This article explains how to create folders and subfolders in Studio, move designs and folders around, and share folders with your team.

The sidebar folder tree

The left side of Studio is a resizable folder tree. Drag the right edge of the sidebar to make it wider or narrower. Each top-level folder can hold subfolders one level deep, and each folder can hold any number of designs. Click a folder to open it and see its contents in the grid on the right.

Each folder row shows a small count of how many designs it holds. The count stays pinned to the right edge of the row and remains visible even when you narrow the sidebar — long folder names shorten with an ellipsis instead of pushing the count out of view, so the row layout stays stable at any width.

Some folders also show a friendly Main Event name as a small subtitle beneath the folder name, so you can confirm at a glance that you are working in the right event folder rather than reading an opaque numeric code. This subtitle only appears when all of the following are true:

Your organization is connected to GFcrew / GFITpro. If you are not connected, no event subtitles show anywhere.
The folder is a top-level folder, and its name follows the event-code structure — a numeric event code, then an underscore, then the event name (for example 1373_Ripken Myrtle Beach). Subfolders never show a subtitle, and folders that don't match this structure don't either.
The event code resolves to a known event on the GFcrew side. If it can't be matched, the subtitle is simply left off — the folder still works normally.

When those conditions are met, Templified looks up and fills in the friendly name automatically; you don't set it yourself.

Create a top-level folder

Click the New top-level folder button at the top of the sidebar (the folder-plus icon). This always creates the folder at the Studio root.
Type a name and click Create. The dialog is titled New Folder and notes that it creates a top-level folder at the Studio root.

New folders are visible to everyone in your organization by default. See Sharing a folder with your organization below if you want to make one private.

Create a subfolder

Creating from a folder always creates the new folder inside that folder.

In the sidebar, hover over the parent folder and click the New subfolder button (the folder-plus icon), or right-click the folder and choose New subfolder.
Type a name and click Create. The dialog is titled New Subfolder and confirms the parent by showing Creates a subfolder inside "Parent Name".

Reorganizing folders and designs

You reorganize with the Move to folder… action rather than by dragging — it lets you pick any destination precisely, and it's the same action for a single item, a folder, or a multi-selection.

Move a design

Right-click a design card (or open its three-dot menu).
Choose Move to folder….
Select the destination folder from the picker and confirm.

Move a folder

In the sidebar, hover over the folder and click … (or right-click it).
Choose Move to….
Pick the destination folder. If you want to move the folder back to the top level, choose (Root).

Bulk move

To move several items at once, click to select them in the grid (hold Shift to select a range), then open the selection toolbar and choose Move to folder…. Only folders — not designs — can be moved to the root level.

Move a folder to the root

Open the Move to… picker for the folder (hover → … → Move to…) and select (Root) from the top of the list. The folder moves out of its parent and becomes a top-level folder.

Duplicate a folder

You can copy an entire folder, including everything inside it, in one step.

In the sidebar, hover over the folder and click … (or right-click it).
Choose Duplicate.

The whole subtree is copied — all of the folder's subfolders and every design it contains come along in the new copy. Duplicating a large folder can take a moment; the menu item shows Duplicating… while the copy is in progress.

All new folders are visible to your whole organization by default. You can make a folder private, or re-share it, at any time.

To make a folder private: hover the folder in the sidebar → … → Make private. Only you will see it.
To share a private folder: hover the folder → … → Share with organization. It becomes visible to all members again.

A globe icon on a folder in the sidebar indicates it is shared with your organization.
