How to Add a New Folder to Your Brainshark Site

If you need to add a new folder to your Brainshark Site, you can do so in the Administration section of your account. A Company Administrator or a Folder Administrator can add folders to a Brainshark site. 

To add a new folder:

1. Navigate to Administration
2. Select Add Folder found in the Folders admin card.
3. On the Folder Properties page, enter the properties of the new folder
   • Select the parent folder to contain the new folder
   • Enter the folder name
   • Enter the folder description 
   • Choose the folder security settings
4. Click Continue
5. On the permissions page, assign Viewer, Author, and/or Administrator permissions to users
   

   • Groups can also be given permissions from this menu by selecting “Group Names” under the Search Dropdown in the top left and clicking “Go” 

6. Select Submit at the bottom of the page

Notes:

• Folders cannot be moved once they have been added.
• Company Administrators may add folders at any level. Folder Administrators may only add subfolders to the folders that they have Folder Administration permissions to.
• Folders will not populate on the Home or My Content page filters until at least one piece of content is stored in it.
