Folders help you organize your diagrams and AI agents into logical groups, making it easier to find and manage your work as your workspace grows. You can create folders within folders to build a structure that matches how your team thinks about and uses diagrams.
Folder permissions
All folders are visible to everyone in the space
Only users with Space Editor permission can create folders
Space Editors can move any folders
Folder owners can move items into their folders
You need Editor or Manage permission on maps to move them
Folders don't currently support individual access rights, sharing permissions, or tags (these features may be added in the future)
Create a Folder
In the main Elements Home app, select either Diagrams or AI Agents from the left-hand menu. Click on the New button and select Folder from the bottom of the menu.
You'll be prompted to provide:
Folder name (required): Between 2-80 characters
Folder description (optional): Same length limit as map descriptions
Once created, the folder appears in your current location—either in the main Diagrams/AI Agents view, or within another folder if you have one open.
View folders
Folders display differently depending on your view mode.
Grid view
Folders appear as collapsed cards showing the name and description
Hover over or select a folder to see an Open button
List view
Folder name appears in the Name column as a clickable link
Type column shows "Folder"
Owner column shows who created the folder
Navigate folders
When you open a folder, you'll see breadcrumbs at the top showing your location path:
Format:
[Diagrams or AI Agents] / [Folder name] / [Folder name]Click any breadcrumb to jump back to that level
Folders are sorted alphabetically alongside maps
Move maps and folders
You can organize your workspace by moving maps and folders into folders using several methods:
Drag and drop (grid view only): Click and drag items directly into folder cards
Context menu (list view): Right-click an item and select the move option
Right sidebar: Use the context menu in the details panel
Manage folder details
Select a folder to view its details in the right panel:
Name: Edit the folder name
Description: Update or add a description
Owner: Change ownership to any other user in the space
Created date: When the folder was created
Best practices
Use clear, descriptive folder names that reflect the content or purpose
Create nested folders to mirror your team's organizational structure
Group related diagrams together (e.g., by project, department, or process area)
Use folder descriptions to provide context for what belongs inside
