Managing Folders in Data Rooms

• Updates: Changes to the original folder are reflected in the data room
• Multiple Data Rooms: The same folder can be added to multiple data rooms

You can reorganize your data room hierarchy at any time without recreating folders. Drag any folder to a new location, drop it, and Papermark updates the structure instantly.

Steps:

1. Open your data room.
2. Click and hold the folder you want to move.
3. Drag it to a new parent folder or to the root level.
4. Drop it. The structure updates in real time.

What stays intact when you move a folder:

• Every document inside, including nested subfolders
• File permissions and group access
• Existing share links pointing to documents inside the folder
• Index numbering updates automatically
