The New Folder structure offered in Stylezone 6.2 version replaces the Old Stylezone structure of using Groups and Boards.

The new folder structure introduces:

Unlimited nesting for better organization
Customizable views to suit different workflows
Flexible filters for efficient navigation
Dynamic permissions settings for sub-folders

Folders Overview

To view folders, click on the folder icon on the left and select Folders from the folders tab.

The Folders List displays the highest-level folders you have access to. Within these, you can now create unlimited levels of sub-folders.

Adding a New Folder

To add a new folder, either:

Click the + New Folder button.
Select Add New Folder from the Add New dropdown menu.

In the pop-up window:

Name (Required)
Location (Required): The default location will be the folder where you clicked ‘+ New Folder’
Description
Type

If the folder type is set to 'Members and Externals' we can choose to hide other folder users from external users in the folder:

If this option is selected: external participants in the folder will be able to see all other users included in this folder
If this option is deselected: external participants will not be able to see other users included in the folder
Users with the 'Member' role will always be able to see all users in the folder

Note: the ability to configure this option is only available for users with the 'Moderator' role in the folder.

Adding a Highest-Level Folder

To create a highest-level folder:

Set Folders as the Location.
You can also define the Folder Type (see Folder Types).

Adding a Sub-Folder

To create a sub-folder within an existing folder:

Select the parent folder from the Location dropdown.
The sub-folder will inherit the user roles, permissions, and folder type from its highest-level parent. These settings cannot be changed.

Folder Actions

Within a folder, you can:

Manage Users
Add Styles and Sub-Folders
Edit folder details
Duplicate the folder
Delete the folder

Managing Users

In the Manage Users window, you can:

Find & Add users from Stylezone.
Change Roles of existing users. For more information, see Folder Roles.
Remove Users from the folder.

Adjusting Sub-folder permissions

A folder moderator can configure sub-folders to have different permissions than the parent folder. This includes:

Changing folder type
Add/remove users
Change user roles (Moderator / Contributor / Reviewer / External)

This means you can have a larger parent folder that contains multiple sub-folders, each with their own permissions settings and user groups. Here are examples of how this can be setup:

Parent: Members Only

Subfolder can be: Members Only / Members + Externals / Public

Parent: Members + Externals

Subfolder can be: Members + Externals / Members Only / Public

Parent: Public

Subfolder can be: Public / Members + Externals / Members Only

Users only see folders they have access to - hidden folders will not be visible to users who do not have access to the selected sub-folder.

Note: Duplicating the entire folder tree duplicates with identical permission structure. The settings configured in your original folder will initially be the same in the duplicated folders.

Adding Styles & Folders

Click + New Style to manually upload a style. For more information, see Uploading Without Lotta or VStitcher.
Click + New Folder to create a new sub-folder within the selected folder.

Editing a Folder

You can rename any folder.
Folder Type can be changed for highest-level folders (applying folder type to all sub-folders) or can be changed per sub-folder
