In this article, we will explain how to create and manage folders and contact lists.

Lists and folders are helpful to organize and categorize your contacts.

Folders allow you to manage and sort your lists based on a common criterion. For example, if I want to gather my new 2022 customers, I can create a "New 2022 customers" folder.

Lists allow you to sort your contacts based on their interests, similarities, etc. Lists are stored in folders, as subcategories. For example, if I want to gather the new customers I worked with in March, I will create a "March 2022" list under my "New 2022 customers" folder.

Create a new folder

Go to Contacts > Lists.
Click on the folder drop-down list.
Click on Create a new folder.
Name your folder.
Double click outside of the window.

Your folder is created. You can now add lists to your folder.

Manage your folders

To change your folder's name, click on the pen logo at the right of your folder.
To delete your folder, click on the bin logo at the right of your folder.

❗️ Important

All the lists created inside will be deleted if you delete a folder. Contacts will not be deleted: they'll be removed from the deleted lists but will still be available from All Contacts.
