Folders and Projects in Table View
TL;DR
In Table view, you can create, add, rename, duplicate, convert, open, copy links for, and delete folders, projects, and custom items. Use the item menu or + Item to add new or existing items, switch item types from the toolbar, and delete items from the context menu. You can also expand or collapse all nested content with the caret icon and a keyboard shortcut.
