Folders

Folders in Lora help you organize shortcuts by team, department, or project. They provide a dedicated space where related shortcuts are grouped together, making it easier for everyone to discover and manage resources.

How folders work

Every shortcut belongs to exactly one folder. A folder can contain as many shortcuts as you need, and each folder has its own page where you can browse its shortcuts, see details, and review usage statistics.

Creating folders

Create a new folder from the Folders section in the sidebar, or while creating a shortcut by selecting Create new folder. Once created, the folder becomes available to your workspace according to its access settings.

Using folders

Folders are ideal for grouping shortcuts by purpose. For example, HR might keep /handbook, /vacation, and /benefits together, while Engineering groups /deploy, /design-system, and /jira.

Folder analytics

Each folder includes analytics that show shortcut usage within that folder. This helps teams understand which resources are most frequently accessed and where gaps may exist.

Workspace-level permissions

At the workspace level, roles define the default permissions for folders:

• Admins can create, edit, and delete folders, and manage all shortcuts inside them.
• Members can create folders and add or edit shortcuts, depending on workspace settings.
• Viewers can view folders and shortcuts, but cannot create or edit them.

These permissions apply across the workspace unless they are overridden by folder-level permissions.

Folder-level permissions

Each folder also has its own access controls, allowing more granular management. Members can be assigned one of the following roles within a specific folder:

Note: Folder permissions do not overwrite a shortcut’s visibility; private and unlisted rules still apply inside a folder.
