Folders offer a structured approach to organizing your courses, providing clarity and easy navigation within your course list.
Note: This feature is applied at the author level, and is available for all plans except Free.

Note: The main Folders will be on the same level when you click on the My courses tab, and there are 5 possible layers of subfolders that you can create within one main Folder, however, there is no limit for the subfolders created within these 5 levels of nesting.
Moving and duplicating courses into Folders
