# Folder Actions

HIVO equips you to organize your digital assets efficiently with its folder management functionalities. This guide explores how to access folder settings, perform actions on entire folders, and maintain a well-structured library.

## Accessing Folder Options 

To view folder settings/actions, either right click the folder or left click the down arrow on the top right of the folder.

## Folder Actions

Modify All Assets: This feature allows you to edit tags and metadata simultaneously for all assets within the selected folder, including those in nested subfolders.

## Folder Management Tools

The Folder Action section offers several options to manage your asset folder:

<table><thead><tr><th width="290">Types</th><th>Discription</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Open Folder</strong></td><td>Directly access the contents of the folder to view individual assets.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Nudge</strong></td><td>This feature will allow you to prioritize folders for quicker access.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Pin/Unpin</strong></td><td>Pin frequently used folders to the top of your library for easy reference. Unpin to remove them from the pinned section.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Download</strong></td><td>Download the entire folder and its contents as a compressed file.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Share</strong></td><td>Grant access to the folder and its contents with specific users or teams within HIVO.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Rename Folder</strong></td><td>Modify the name of the folder for improved organization.</td></tr><tr><td>Move Folder</td><td>Change the location of the folder within your library structure. You may select an existing folder here to merge the folders</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Duplicate Folder Tree</strong></td><td>Create a complete copy of the folder, including its subfolders and all assets within them.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Delete Folders</strong></td><td>Permanently delete the folder and all assets it contains.</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Important Note on Deleting Folders:**

*Remember, deleting folders is permanent, so use the alternative method if you only want to remove the folder hierarchy (Without Deleting Assets).*
{% endhint %}

If you only want to remove the folder structure but keep the underlying assets, follow these steps:

* Select **"Move Folder"** from the folder options.
* In the **"New Folder Path"** field, use the backspace key to delete the entire path, essentially removing the folder structure.
* Click **"Submit"** to confirm the changes.

{% hint style="info" %}
*Any Assets inside the deleted folders will be placed into the 'Asset Destination Path'. No Assets will be deleted. This action will apply to both normal and pinned folders.*
{% endhint %}

HIVO's folder management tools empower you to organize your digital assets efficiently. Leverage folder actions for bulk editing, utilize "Pin" and "Download" for quick access and sharing, and explore renaming, moving, and duplicating folders for optimal library structure.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.hivo.co/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/library/folder-actions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
