Creating Folders

Table 3. Availability - Legacy plans


Overview

All users except collaborators can create folders.

Note

This option might not be available on Business accounts and up due to custom item types suggestions settings.

Folders can house tasks, subfolders, and subprojects. They're a great way to organize tasks in your workspace so that you can not only keep relevant information together but also ensure that data is grouped in such a way that it can be easily and quickly shared with the right people. Please note, unlike tasks and projects, folders aren't actionable items.

FAQ

Is there a way to edit the author field?

The author field is a system field that shows historical information on who created the item (project/folder/task etc.) and it can't be modified manually.
