Hi,
There are no folders in Anytype.
The closest concept is the link: an object can be placed inside another object, which links it to that object (parent-child link).
To create something similar to folders, you can check out this post if you’d like :

How to group things like in folders

Hi, Set is like a search, it’s not what you want. Collection is like a unique folder or a box where you put what you want. It can meet the need : you can add your chapter, tag or categorize them. And you can add this collection to the sidebar (the view is simple at present, but perhaps one day it will be possible to customize it to display the category, for example).

Hello @BatMan,

Use collections to achieve a folder structure. See the recent post here about a similar feature request but that can actually be done: UX Improvement: Persistent Tree / List View to Avoid Context Switching (Three-Pane Layout) - #11 by aleclerc

Also, note that collections embeded in a page will not respect manual sort order, or any order. But if a collection is pinned, this will work. Embedded Collection sorting does not respect order in the left pane (Tree Layout)

You can add collections to collections, so this creates the illusion of folders. Yet, make sure put the pages (or stuff) you want in the collection where you want it.

Hope this helps and kind regards!
