1. What are folders?

Folders are like "directories" of techpacks/products to help you keep them organized and share them with your organization members. 

On Techpacker there are two types of folders: 

  • image1.png Product Folder: This teal green colored folder is added to every user's account by default. All Techpacks in this folder are only visible to the account owner.
  • image2.png Shared Folders: These are shared folders that can be added and named as per your preference like seasons, departments, manufacturer etc. You can share these folders with all or selective members of your organization.
