Create Work Folders

Visual and written instructions for creating work folders to interactively organize data in a project.

Work folders are created and used to collect sets of documents retrieved in searching or filtering the project dataset. Work folders may be created in hierarchies, shared and set to read-only or updatable. Work folders are where documents reviewed for relevance, privilege, redactions and confidentiality are collected for production, and may be used as logical sets to prepare for other bulk operations.

2. The project will open to the Dashboard.
3. Under Folders in the Sidebar click on the ... (Options) menu to the right of Work Folders and select Add Folder.
