How to use Kahoot! folders

Kahoot! folders let you organize the kahoots, stories and courses in your Library. Every workspace has Your folders, which other team members can't see. Team workspaces also have Organization's folders, shared with members who have a paid seat. To add something to a folder, click the three vertical dots on its card and choose Move.
You can't move kahoots from Your favorites or Shared with you. Duplicate them instead and choose a folder for the copy.

What is the difference between Your folders and Organization's folders?

Your folders hold your own content and are hidden from other team members. Organization's folders are shared with the team and exist only in team workspaces (team subscription required).

• Folders belong to one workspace. A folder you create in workspace X won't appear in workspace Y. Switch workspaces at the top of the left-side panel.
• Limited members see only Your folders.
• Moving content between workspaces. You can't move someone else's kahoot into Your folders; only the owner and admins can, and the kahoot then becomes unavailable to the team. Some plans keep organization content inside the organization, so it can't move to a private workspace or another organization.
• The top-level Your folders section can't be renamed, moved or deleted. Only the folders inside it can.

Where are folders in my Kahoot! Library?

Open Library from the left-side menu. Folders sit under Your folders and, in team workspaces, Organization's folders. 

The other items in the menu are lists, not folders, so you can't create or move folders into them:

• Recent: content you worked on recently. You can select several cards here and move them into a folder.
• Your drafts: content you haven't finished yet.
• Your favorites: kahoots by other creators that you favorited. They can't be moved, only duplicated.
• Shared with you: content others shared with you. It can't be moved, only duplicated.

How do I create a folder in Kahoot!?

On a computer, use the plus icon in the Library menu:

1. Go to the workspace where the folder should be, and open Library from the left-side menu.
2. Click the plus icon (+) next to Your folders or Organization's folders. The tooltip reads Create a new personal folder. or Create a new organization folder.
   
3. Type a name and press Enter.
   

To create a folder inside another folder (and on a phone or tablet):

1. Open the folder.
2. Click New and choose Folder.
   

The same New menu also lets you create a kahoot, story or course directly in that folder.

Click a folder to open it, or click its three vertical dots for Rename, Share, Move, Duplicate and Delete folder. You only see the options you're allowed to use.

How do I move a kahoot, story, or course into a folder?

Use Move on the item's card. You can move one item or several at once.

Moving between Your folders and Organization's folders changes who can see the item, so you'll be asked to confirm. The confirmation calls these sections Your content and Team content.

How do I move or duplicate a folder?

1. Click the three vertical dots on the folder and choose Move or Duplicate. The Move folder or Duplicate folder window opens.
2. Click a folder in the list to open it. Use Back above the list to go up a level.
3. When the destination folder is open, click Move (or Duplicate).
4. A message appears at the top of the page. Click Go to folder to open the destination.

How do I delete a folder, and what happens to its content?

Deleting a folder deletes its subfolders too. Kahoots, courses, and stories inside go to Trash, where you can restore them.

1. Click the three vertical dots on the folder and choose Delete folder.
2. Read the summary and click Delete.

Why can't I move content into a folder?

Usually because the kahoot isn't yours to move. Kahoots in Your favorites or Shared with you can't be moved, but most can be duplicated: click Duplicate and choose the folder where the copy should go. The original stays unchanged. More in How to duplicate kahoots.

Why is a folder greyed out in the Move window? Hover over it to see the reason. Common reasons:

• You're moving someone else's kahoot into Your folders or your private workspace.
• The kahoot is locked, or someone is editing it.
• The kahoot is premium content.
• Your organization's plan keeps content inside the organization.
• The workspace's subscription has expired.
