# Move an Asset Folder

In Contentstack, you can move asset folders into other folders to create a nested folder structure, enhancing your asset organization.

To move an asset folder, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login), and perform the following steps:

1.  Go to your [stack](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack) and click the “Assets” icon in the left navigation panel.
2.  Locate the folder you want to move, click the **vertical ellipses** under **Actions**, and select **Move To**. ![Assets\_MoveFolder\_MoveTo.png](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2d43f51baca745a8/bltb618d1a7b8e986e0/674552a7434d82d25a44f500/Assets_MoveFolder_MoveTo.png)
3.  In the **Move To** modal, select the destination folder, and click **Move here**. ![Assets\_MoveFolder\_MoveHere.png](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2d43f51baca745a8/blt17781eaffa58c1d9/674552a7465242c098d33e21/Assets_MoveFolder_MoveHere.png)

Your folder will now be moved into the selected folder, creating a nested structure.

**Note**:

*   You can only move one asset folder at a time.
*   Asset folders are designed solely to organize your assets systematically. Assets are identified and accessed through their URL, regardless of the folder they are stored in.

## API Reference

To move an asset folder via API, refer to the [Update or move folder](/docs/developers/apis/content-management-api/assets#update-or-move-folder) API request.
