# Managing Folders

## Creating a Folder

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend separating your articles and SOPS by folders for easy organization. However this step can be skipped straight to [*<mark style="background-color:$primary;">Create an Article</mark>*](/tillit/knowledge-base/setting-up-tillit/articles/managing-articles.md#create-an-article)
{% endhint %}

For this example, we will create a folder and name it Cleaning which will include all of our cleaning SOPs. It will then appear on the left side.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Select one of the options below to open the creation modal:

#### In Tree View
