# Manage folders

Create folders to organize your personal items.

# Folders Overview

Folders can be created and used to **organize personal items** in your **Personal Vault** to make them **easier to find**.

**Folders** and **Items** in your **Personal Vault** are **private to you** and are **never accessible** to **another user.** Because they are in a Peronal Vault they **cannot be shared**. Only Items in a Shared Vault can be shared with other users.

Items can be **searched** for in Folders using the Filters menu.

The following functions are available for Folders:

- **[Create Folder](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/22)**
- **[Edit Folder](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/37)**
- **[Delete Folder](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/38)**
- **[Create Nested Folder](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/39)**
- **[Move Item to Folder](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/40)**
- **[Search for Item in Folder](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/21)**

[![EN Add Folder 1.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/en-add-folder-1.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/en-add-folder-1.png)

Use the **« / » forward slash** delimiter to define the folder structure of your nested folder.

For example, create a new folder called **Redstone Project/New.**

[![create nested folder screen.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/create-nested-folder-screen.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/create-nested-folder-screen.png)

If the folder called **Redstone Project** already exists, a nested folder called **New** is created inside the **Redstone Project** folder.

[![nested folder screen.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/nested-folder-screen.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/nested-folder-screen.png)

If a folder called **Redstone Project** does not already exist, a new folder will be created called **Redstone Project/New.**

[![nested folder screen-no parent.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/nested-folder-screen-no-parent.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/nested-folder-screen-no-parent.png)

To create a nested folder called **Trees** inside the **New** Folder, create a new folder called **Redstone Project/New/Trees.**

[![create nested folder screen 2 levels.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/sHbcreate-nested-folder-screen-2-levels.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/sHbcreate-nested-folder-screen-2-levels.png)

A nested folder called **Trees** is created inside the **New** folder.

[![nested folder screen 2 levels.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/nested-folder-screen-2-levels.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/nested-folder-screen-2-levels.png)

<p class="callout info">If you **[Search](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/21)** inside the **Redstone Project** Folder, it will return items in the Redstone Project Folder but **not items inside** the **New** and **Trees nested** folders.</p>

<p class="callout info">There is **no limit** to the **depth** of nested folders, but it can be impractical to create too many.</p>

# Move Item to Folder

From the **[Edit Item Screen](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/9)** Screen, **choose** a **Folder** from the dropdown menu.

[![Move Item to a folder.png](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/move-item-to-a-folder.png)](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/move-item-to-a-folder.png)

Click **Save** button to **Move the Item** to this Folder.

You can **add an Item** from a **Shared Vault** into a **Folder**. This will be **organized** in this Folder in **your Vault**. It will **not provide access** to this item **to another user.**
