### Setting Up and Managing Vault Folders

Admins have full control over the folder structure within the vaults of all users.

**Default Folder Structure**

Admins can set up a default folder structure that will be applied to the vaults of all users. This ensures consistency and ease of access to important documents.

**Folder Management**

Admins possess the following abilities when managing current and newly created folders:

* **Create**: Admins can create new folders to organize documents effectively.
* **Rename**: Existing folders can be renamed to better reflect their contents or purposes.
* **Hide**: Folders can be hidden from view, making them invisible to users without deleting their contents.
* **Delete**: Deleting a folder will permanently remove it and all its contents from the vaults of all users in the domain.&#x20;
* **Manage User and Admin Permissions**: These settings control which vault admins and users can access this folder and manage files inside it.&#x20;

### Reordering and Saving Folder Settings

* **Reordering Folders**: To reorder folders, click "Manage Folders" and simply drag and drop them into the desired order. This allows for a customized and logical arrangement of folders.
* **Hiding Folders**: To hide a folder from everyone's vault, disable it by toggling its visibility setting. This is useful for temporarily restricting access to certain documents without deleting them.

### Saving Changes

After making changes to the folder structure or settings, click **Save** to apply and save the configurations. This ensures that the updates are reflected across all user vaults.

By utilizing these folder management features, admins can maintain an organized, efficient, and user-friendly vault system, ensuring that all important documents are easily accessible while maintaining control over their visibility and structure.
