Learn how to use JSTOR Workspace to save, organize and share content.

Create a Folder

When you are logged in to your personal account, you can create folders and subfolders to organize, export, and present research in your Workspace. Folders and subfolders can be renamed, moved, duplicated, and shared. You can also add a description to your folder to add context which will be included in reference lists and presentations when exporting your research.

Here's how:

  1. Click the Create folder (or Create subfolder) button at the top of your Workspace or folder view.
  2. Enter a name for your folder.
    • Folder names are limited to 75 characters.
  3. Click the Create button to create the folder.
