# [AM2.0] - Manage a Folder

This page explains how to manage folders in **Assets**—including viewing folder information, opening folders, editing details, uploading assets, and deleting folders. It is intended for users who organize and maintain assets and should be used when performing day-to-day folder management tasks.

Manage a Folder

Folders in **Assets** help you organize and group related assets in a structured way. You can view folder details, open or edit folders, upload files, or delete folders as needed.

## View Folder Information

To view the key details of a folder:
- Navigate to the **Assets** section.
- Hover over the folder and click the "Folder Information" icon.

The folder information is displayed, including its name, description, and other relevant details.

## Open a Folder

You can open a folder in two ways:
- Click the folder name or icon.
- Hover over the folder, click the vertical ellipsis, and select **Open**.

Once opened, you can add new assets or manage existing ones inside the folder.

## Edit Folder Details

To edit the folder name or description:
- Hover over the folder, click the vertical ellipsis, and select **Edit**.
- Update the folder name or description as required.
- Click **Save** to confirm your changes.

**Note:** Editing folder details does not affect the assets inside it.

## Upload Assets to a Folder

You can upload assets directly into a folder:
- Hover over the folder, click the vertical ellipsis, and select **Upload File**.
- Select the assets you want to upload from your system.

The selected assets are uploaded to the folder.

**Tip:** You can also drag and drop files directly into an open folder for faster uploads.

## Delete a Folder

If a folder is no longer required, you can remove it permanently:
- Hover over the folder, click the vertical ellipsis, and select **Delete**.
- Click **Delete** again to confirm the action.

**Warning:** Deleting a folder removes the folder and all assets within it. Review the folder contents carefully before proceeding.
