They help you keep your actions, contact lists, user lists, tags, and custom fields organized - this is particularly helpful if you are running a lot of program from your Field Tools dashboard, and need to be able to find thing more easily. You can create and manage folders in Data \> Folders. Once a folder is created, you can add the following Field Tools components to that folder (use Add to Folder at the right-hand side of the row for a certain action, list, etc.): - Actions - Contact lists - User lists - Tags - Custom Fields Within any of those component types, you'll be able to filter by folder to locate only the actions, lists, etc. within that folder. Folders are not the way to determine [which actions are published and visible](https://help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/basics-of-actions-on-impactive-impactive-help-center) to which users/teams, to share actions with affiliates in [coordinated campaigns](https://help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/coordinated-campaigns-impactive-help-center), etc. They are purely an internal organization tool within your admin dashboard. -
