# Create a Folder in Collection
Collection Folder is an important feature that helps users organize, manage and access digital assets effectively in HIVO.
### **How to Create a Folder in Collection**
Users can create **Folders** within a Collection by following these steps:
#### **πΉ Step 1: Select Assets in Collection**
* Navigate to **Collections** and open the Collection that contains the assets you want to organize.
* Select the **Assets** you want to place into a folder.
Select Assets in Collection
#### **πΉ Step 2: Create a New Folder or Choose an Existing One**
* Click on the **Folder** icon in the toolbar.
* Enter a **new Folder name** or select an existing Folder.
Click on the Folder icon
Enter a new Folder name
#### **πΉ Step 3: Confirm Folder Creation**
* Click **"Submit"** to complete the folder creation process and organize your assets.
### **Important Notes When Using Folders in Collections**
π **Collection folders can not have permissions set on them**. You can only set permission on the collection itself, which will automatically set asset permissions on all the assets inside the collection. [See Collection Permissions here](/collections/collection-permissions.md).\
π **Deleting a folder does not delete the assets inside**βthey will still exist in the original Collection.\
π **Assets can be moved between folders** to optimize content organization.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://support.hivo.co/collections/collection-folders/create-a-folder-in-collection.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
