The content in SlideRocket’s Presentation Library, Slide Library, Media Library, or Theme Library can be organized using folders.
There are two types of folders: 

• My Folders is used for organizing personal content that can then be collaborated with other users on an item-by-item basis 
• Shared Folders is used for organizing collections of content that can be collaborated with other users as a set. When a folder in Shared Folders is collaborated with another user, that user is given access to all items in that folder. Shared Folders acts as a hub between multiple users, allowing groups to collaborate efficiently on a set of items. For more information about collaborating using Shared Folders click here.

Before building a folder structure it is important to think about how you want all of your content to be organized. For example, do you want to organize content into folders by team or by project?

My Folders

My Folders is used for organizing personal content that can then be collaborated with other users on an item-by-item basis. Each library contains a [My Items] folder under My Folders ([My Presentations] in the Presentation Library, [My Slides] in the Slide Library, etc). When a new item is created or imported it is placed in the [My Items] folder by default. The item can then be dragged and dropped into a different folder in either My Folders or Shared Folders.

Shared Folders

Shared Folders is used for organizing sets of content that can be collaborated with other users. When a folder in Shared Folders is collaborated with another user, that user is given access to all items in that folder. Users can be given either View or Edit Permissions to a shared folder.

 

[User Shared Folders]

When an individual presentation, slide, asset file, or theme is shared with another user, it will show in the recipient’s account in a subfolder within [User Shared Folders]. The subfolder will automatically be named after the user who created the item. Click on the name of a user to see all of the presentations created by that user which have been shared with you. 

  

ADVANCED NOTES: 

• Shared presentations in [User Shared Folders] cannot be moved to another folder
• Subfolders cannot be added to [User Shared Folders]
