Creating a new folder

It is good practice to create Silva folders rather than Silva documents.

This is, because you can add objects to a Folder e.g. a separate right-hand column, a different menu etc. which you can't do if you have only a Silva document.

1. Navigate to the section of the site where you want to add the new folder
2. Ensure you're viewing the contents of this section
3. You should then see a drop-down list at the top of the page. Click on this, and select Silva Folder.

4. Give the folder an id and title - the id must have no spaces, and be in lower case

   1. By default, you will automatically be given an index page (Silva document) when you create a folder.
   2. If you don't want an index page, e.g. if you would like a folder for storing files or images, choose none before you click on Save.
5. Click Save, or Save and Enter to start working inside this new folder.
