# Folders

Select **Folders** from the main menu. This will load a page with the following document management options:

[**Favourites**](/features/document-management.md#save-as-favourite)**:** all documents that you have marked as a favourite.

[**Documents with marks**](/features/document-management/notes-and-highlights.md)**:** any documents that you have added notes or highlights to.

[**Purchased documents**](/features/vlex-credits.md)**:** depending on your location and chosen jurisdiction, you may have the option to purchase additional access on a document-by-document basis. These documents will be housed here.

Below these three options, you will find the folders that you have created. Use these to store documents and [organise them in a way that suits you](/support-1/frequently-asked-questions/research-using-folders.md).

## **Adding documents to a folder**

At the top right of a document, you will find the **Add to folder** button. Here, you will have the choice to put the document into one or multiple folders by using the checkboxes. You can also create a new folder from this pop-up menu.

## **Create, rename and delete folders**

Within the folders menu, your folders will be displayed on the left of the screen. On each folder, you will be able to click on a small arrow, which will open a menu with the following three options:

**Create folder inside:** nest a new folder within the one you have selected. Use the pop-up box to name it.

## **Restore documents from the Trash folder**

If you want to restore deleted documents, you have two options:

1. Move them from **Trash** to another folder by dragging and dropping with your curser.
2. Check the box next to the document you want to reinstate and click the restore button in the top right.
