I) Organizing folder structures
a) Folders you create in Huddle will be ordered in alphabetical order. If you would like them to appear in a different order we suggest that you number the folders. Please see this guide for a step by step guide to editing file and folder titles.
b) Renaming a file or folder will change the title for all members of the workspace. If you do not want to change the order of the folders for all workspace members you also have the option to change the view of the files you have by using the following drop down menu:
You are able to order files and folders by title so they appear in alphabetical order
You can order them by most recently updated
You can also order them by file type
TIP: This drop down menu only changes the view of the files tab for you, not for any other users.
You have the option to toggle between a list view of files as shown above and a thumbnail view that you can see below. The selection you make here will only affect your view of the tab, it will not affect other workspace members.

II) Who can move files and folders?
In Huddle only Workspace Managers and content owners are able to move files and folders. This means that to move a piece of content in Huddle you either need access to the Settings tab or you need to be the person who originally added that content to the platform.

b) Then look at the panel on the right hand side of the screen and click on Move Selected Items
c) This will open the following window.
d) Select the folder you would like to move your files and / or folders to and click on Okay to confirm.
