Create them from a library view or while adding a call. Rename, move, copy, or archive them as your team's needs change. ## Create a folder You can create a folder directly from Your library or while adding a call. Folders created in Your library are private to you by default. Folders created in the Company library are visible to everyone with library access. You need manage Company library permissions to create folders in the Company library. ### From the library **To create a folder from the library:** 1. From the left sidebar, click **Conversations**, and select **Your library** or **Company library**. 2. Click **+ New** and select **Folder**. 3. Enter a name for the folder. 4. Verify the destination folder and click **Create**. > [!TIP] > Tip: > > To create a subfolder inside an existing folder, click the **options** icon beside that folder and select **Folder**. ### From the call page Use this when you are adding a call and want to file it into a new folder at the same time. **To create a folder while adding a call:** 1. On the call page, click the **Add to** icon and select **Add to Library**. 2. In the folder picker, hover over **Your folders** and click the **Add** **+** icon on the right. 3. Enter a name and click **Create**. The call is added to the new folder. ## Rename, move, or copy a folder You can rename, move, or copy folders you created. These actions are available from the folder's options menu and apply to folders in both Your library and Company library. ### Rename a folder Renaming a folder changes its display name without affecting its contents. **To rename a folder:** 1. From the left sidebar, click **Conversations**, and select **Your library** or **Company library**. 2. Hover over the relevant folder and click the **More actions** icon, then click **Rename**. 3. Enter the new name and click **Rename** to confirm. ### Move a folder Moving a folder changes where it sits in the folder tree. If you move a folder to a new parent folder, the folder's access aligns with the new parent folder's settings. **To move a folder:** 1. From the left sidebar, click **Conversations**, and select **Your library** or **Company library**. 2. Hover over the relevant folder and click the **More actions** icon, then click **Move**. 3.

The original folder is unaffected. **To copy a folder:** 1. From the left sidebar, click **Conversations**, and select **Your library** or **Company library**. 2. Hover over the relevant folder and click the **More actions** icon, then click **Copy**. 3. Choose the destination. 4.

Hover over the relevant folder and click the **More actions** icon, then click **Archive**. 3.

Choose what you want to do: - **Move back:** Restores the folder to Company library. - **Remove forever:** Permanently removes the folder and its contents from the library. > Warning: > > Remove forever cannot be undone. The folder and its library container are permanently removed. Calls saved in the folder remain in Gong. ## Frequently asked questions **Can I create subfolders inside existing folders?** Yes. You can nest folders inside other folders to any depth. When you create a subfolder inside a shared or public folder, the subfolder inherits the parent folder's access settings automatically. **What happens to calls when I delete or archive a folder?** Nothing. Calls saved in a folder remain in Gong regardless of what happens to the folder. Deleting or archiving a folder removes the folder itself, not the calls inside it. **Why can't I delete a Company library folder?** Company library folders use Archive instead of Delete. Archiving preserves the folder and its contents without showing them in Company library, and a Business admin can restore the folder if needed. This protects curated company content from being permanently removed by mistake. **Can I move a folder from Company library to Your library?** Yes, if you have the permission to manage that folder. Moving a Company library folder to Your library makes it private to you and removes access for others who previously had it.
