This article will show you how to add, edit, or delete a folder in the Document Center.
Important Notes:
The Document Center folder will not be visible to the public until a file has been uploaded into the folder.
A Document Center folder can hold up to 800 documents. If you have more than that, it is recommended to split them into several folders or archive older documents.
