# The folder hierarchy

The folder hierarchy and the spreadsheet work together. The folder hierarchy shows the layout of folders in the database and the spreadsheet shows the tags within the folders. Double-click an icon in the folder hierarchy window to list the folder‘s tags in the spreadsheet.

If the folder contains other nested folders, its icon has a plus (+) in it. When you double-click it, the folders in it are listed in the hierarchy. If you need to resize the hierarchy box to view a set of nested folders, drag the right border of the box to the required size.

To select more than one folder at a time, hold down the Ctrl key as you double-click the folder names. All the tags from the selected folders are displayed in the spreadsheet.

To duplicate or delete a folder, select it in the folder hierarchy and use the appropriate command in the Edit menu or select the appropriate tool on the toolbar.
