  • Folders and Projects can be added to (or tagged in) multiple locations.
  • Subfolders and Subprojects are automatically shared with all users who have access to the parent Folder(s) or Project(s).
  • On Folder and Project info panels: the names of parent Folders and Projects appear as tags underneath a Subfolder or Subproject’s name.
