How to Add, Copy, and Delete a Folder

 

With ProProfs Knowledge Base, you can organize and group pages in folders. You can also create hierarchies of folders and pages. Additionally, you can rename, copy, add restrictions, hide the folder, and enable/disable the URLs for folders.

 

Note: Folders that are empty or have no published content will not be visible to end-users.

 

Benefits of managing folders:

 

  • Group pages under similar categories

  • Maintain a hierarchy in the knowledge base

  • Enable/disable the folder without hampering the hierarchy

 

Here’s a preview of how folders appear in a knowledge base:
