Create a folder

Organize the assets in an Asset Manager project into folders by subject, purpose, or team.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 8 days ago

Folders are containers inside a project that you use to organize your assets. Folders don't control access: all users with access to your Asset Manager project can view every folder in it.
You can nest folders up to six levels deep in a project.
Note
After you create a folder, you can't move it into another folder or to another Asset Manager project.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
  • You must have at least the Contributor role in the Asset Manager project where you want to add a folder.

Create a folder

To create a folder:
  1. Make sure you are signed into Unity Cloud and have the correct permissions in the Asset Manager project to which you will add the new folder.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • From the Asset Manager web interface, next to the Create asset button, select the menu (...) button.
    • From the main library view for your Asset Manager project, next to Add Asset, select the arrow button.
  3. Select Create folder.
  4. In the Folder name field, enter a meaningful name for the folder.
  5. (Optional) To create the new folder in a different Asset Manager project, select Change location and select the correct project.
  6. Select Create.
The new folder appears in the list of folders for this Asset Manager project.
Important
Access controls and permissions apply to the assets in a folder, not to the folder itself.
