What’s in the Project panel

The Project panel is split into two main sections:

Organize files with folders

Folders help you group related files and keep large projects organized. You can create folders, nest subfolders, and move files between them.
  • Create a folder: Click the + button in the Files section, select Add Folder from the menu, give the folder a name, and drag files into it.
  • Rename or delete a folder: Right-click the folder or click the three dots next to its name.
  • Create subfolders: Organize further by nesting folders inside folders.

Search and filter files

Use the search bar at the top of the Files section to find files by name. Type any part of a file name to filter the list. For more options, click the filter icon to the right of the search bar. This lets you:
  • Filter by file type — Show only audio, video, images, or other media types
  • Sort files — Organize by name, date added, or date modified
