Users with the Creator role or greater Available to Enterprise plans Overview In this article, learn how to view folders to which you have Viewer or Creator access, how to navigate within folders, and how to access a folder’s Settings. Prerequisites Creator access to Panopto
Viewing Folders From the left-hand navigation, the following tabs allow you to access your folders (Fig. 1).  My Folder: This folder contains your personal Panopto videos and folders.  Learn about My Folder at How to Use My Folder. Subscriptions: If you subscribe to any folders, they will appear in this tab. Learn how to subscribe to a folder in How to Subscribe to a Video Creator, Folder, or Tag.  Browse: All folders for which you have Viewer or Creator access will appear here.	Figure 1
Viewing folders in My Folder: Select the My Folder tab from the left-hand navigation. A list of subfolder icons will appear within your My Folder (Fig. 2). Select the subfolder you’d like to view.
Viewing folders in Subscriptions: Select the Subscriptions tab from the left-hand navigation. To view only the folders that you subscribe to, make sure the Folders checkbox is selected, but that the People and Tags checkboxes are deselected. The folders do not appear, but a video's parent folder is listed underneath the video title (Fig. 3)
Viewing folders in Browse: Select Browse from the left-hand navigation. There are two tabs in Browse: All Folders, which displays all of the folders you have Viewer or Creator access to, and My Folders, which shows a list of folders you own (Fig. 4a). To search for a specific folder, use the Search all folders… toolbar (Fig. 4b) To expand a folder and see its subfolders, select the dropdown icon to its left (Fig. 4c). To keep the Browse menu open at all times, select the pushpin icon in the upper right corner of the menu (Fig. 4d).	Figure 4a Figure 4b Figure 4c Figure 4d
You can customize your view using the top toolbars. The main toolbar allows you to return to the parent folder by selecting the up arrow; Refresh the folder; change the view of a folder as explained in 1.2.a.- 1.2.c, below;  Filter by date; and Show scheduled recordings (Fig. 5a). The secondary toolbar allows you to sort videos by Name, Duration, Date, and Rating (Fig. 5b).   Note: If you have Creator rights to a folder, a recording icon, which looks like a red dot, will appear in the lower right-hand corner of the folder icon. For Admins, this will only appear in the folder view, and not in the Browse area.	Figure 5a Figure 5b
