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.
  
  💡 Good to know

  There is a limit of 300 lists per account. Keep in mind that with a high number of lists, it becomes more difficult to manage and keep track of them.
