MediaLab is built to keep your media library structured and easy to navigate. By organizing your files into folders and subfolders, you can ensure that your team always knows where to find the right content.

Creating Folders

1. Navigate to the location where you want to create a folder.
2. Right-click and select Create Folder (or use the folder menu).
3. Give your folder a clear name and press Save.

Note: You need the Create folders permission to make new folders. Only administrators can delete folders. Even if you have manage rights, folder removal is restricted to ensure no content is accidentally deleted without oversight.

Moving and Renaming Folders

• Use the Move option in the context menu to place files or folders in the correct location.
• You can also drag and drop files directly in the interface for quick organization.
• Right-click on a file or folder and choose Edit to rename it.
• Clear, descriptive names make searching and sharing easier later.

Searching and Filtering

• Quick search: Use the search bar to find files by title, description, tags, or metadata.
• Filters: Apply filters such as tags or custom metadata fields to narrow results.
• Smart Collections: Save a search filter as a Smart Collection to reuse dynamic filters whenever you need them.

Best Practices

• Use a logical folder structure, such as separating content by project, client, or department.
• Avoid keeping everything in one large folder — smaller, well-labeled folders are faster to navigate.
• If you frequently work with the same group of files, consider creating a Playlist or Smart Collection for easier access.
