If you’d like to keep projects in Explain Everything’s Library or Explain Drive in order, you can organize your projects in folders. Organizing your projects in folders can also help you find the desired project easier and quicker.
The structure of folders in Explain Everything is flat — you cannot create a folder within a folder or move one into another one.
