Create a folder using the right-click menu

One way to add a subfolder in the Components browser is to use the right-click menu. Component folders are inserted as a subfolder under the currently selected folder. They always have a parent and can have their own subfolders. Subfolders are not shown when you collapse the folder list.

Tips and tricks
  • You can also create subfolders in the following ways:
  • Refreshing folders. There are two ways to refresh the folder list:
    • Refresh all folders—To update the entire folder hierarchy, go to the Folders toolbar and select ReadOnly_Refresh the Refresh (all) option.
    • Refresh one folder—To refresh the data for one folder only, select the folder, click the Options menu, and select Refresh. Inspire only refreshes the selected folder and shows only the first level of sub-folders and components it contains.

To create a folder using the right-click menu:

  1. Click Components.
  2. In the Folders pane, select the folder that you want to add a sub-folder to.
  3. Right-click the folder, and select Create folder.
  4. In the empty label box next to the new folder icon, enter a name for the new sub-folder, and press Enter.
    Results: Inspire refreshes the folder hierarchy.
    • The parent folder now has an expand and collapse arrow.
