Creating Folders

Your Administrator has set up one or more top-level folders. They appear in the navigation pane on the left of Publisher Explorer. Working within these folders, you can create subfolders to hold your data entry templates, content items, and presentation templates.

By default, the folder structure you create here is re-created exactly on the Web server when you preview or publish. The simplest way to structure your folders is to organize them as you want the folders on your Web site organized. However, you can set up folders one way in Publisher, yet have them appear in a different configuration on your Web site.

To create a folder:

1. From the Publisher Administration portlet, launch Publisher Explorer.
2. Locate and open the folder where you want to create a new folder.
3. On the action bar, click New | Folder.
4. Type a name for the folder, then click OK.
   The new folder appears in the navigation pane.

Tip: To create a folder that is hidden from Contributors, insert a period at the beginning of the folder name (step 4 above). When you set up a presentation template to refer to a content item or file stored in a hidden folder, use an underscore (_) instead of a period.
