Summary

This article will discuss the steps to create folders that helps to keep content organized and easy to locate.

 

How-To

Task: To create and organise the folders in the SFMC.

By default when you create content and emails within Salesforce Marketing Cloud, all items are saved to a Local folder that can be accessed from the Content area within the Email Studio. Some teams contribute much content in a short period of time which can lead to troubles trying to find what is needed. To help alleviate this issue, you can create folders within the local structure to help organize emails and content.  

NOTE:  You should always pull templates from the Shared Folder to ensure you are using the most current version.

Instructions

Step 1 - Navigate to Email Studio -> Email -> Content.

Step 2 - Ensure the left side of the screen is focused on "Local".

Step 3 - Right Click on the parent folder "Content Builder" and select Create Folder.

Step 4 - Type the name of the folder and click OK.

Step 6 - To Move content into respective folders, you can check off the content to be moved.  Once checked use the "Actions" icon in the upper right of the screen and select Move.  The system will then present a dialog asking which folder you would like to select to move the chosen content.

Step 7 - All content for the respective Business Unit can be viewed by selecting the Root Folder at the top of the left-side pane.
