Managing folders

Create, rename, move, and delete folders to organize your content.

Folders help you organize transcriptions, files, documents, and analyses in Klang. Top-level folders are called projects. You can create subfolders inside projects to further organize your content.

Opening the folder menu

Folder actions live in a single menu that you open from the folder name in the breadcrumb.

Using drag and drop

Select one or more items and drag them to the destination folder in the sidebar or in the folder view. You can select multiple items by holding Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and clicking each item.

Deleting a folder

  1. Open the folder menu
  2. Click Delete
  3. Confirm the deletion

A folder can only be deleted if it is empty. If the folder still contains files, subfolders, or analyses, you need to move or delete them first. Move content to another folder using the steps above, then try deleting again.

Folder permissions

Access to content is controlled at the project level. Subfolders inherit permissions from their parent project. To learn how to share folders and manage access, see Sharing folders with your team.
