Use folders to organize team projects

If your team has a long list of projects, try using folders to better organize them in Todoist. They're the perfect way to organize your projects and they will sync to all your team members’ accounts, meaning that the way your folders and projects are organized will appear the same to your whole team.

Warning

Folders are only available with a Todoist Business subscription. Moreover, team admins alone can change the order of projects in a team workspace.

Create a folder

  1. Click your Todoist team in the sidebar.
  2. Click Add in the right-hand side.
  3. Select Add folder.
  4. Enter a name for your folder.
  5. (Optional) Open the dropdown menu under Include projects to add projects to your folder (you can also add projects to your folder after it has been created).
  6. Click Add.
