Today you will

• make eight numbered folders inside your Project Portfolio
• give a file a clear name and move it into the right folder
• save a screenshot of your finished layout

Warm-up

Have you ever hunted for a file called {{code:document1}} or {{code:untitled}}? What would have made it easy to find?

A folder holds files that belong together.

A good file name starts with a number and a topic, like {{code:01_project_brief}}.

A file path is the trail of folders that leads to a file, like {{code:Project_Portfolio / 01_brief}}.

Moving a file puts it in a new folder without making a copy.

Example

Aoife is logging her Work Experience at a garage. She renames {{code:budget maybe}} to {{code:05_project_budget}} and moves it into {{code:05_budget}}.

Your eight folders

These are the exact names you will use for your folders.

Watch your teacher do this first, then follow the steps in the box below. You will build your eight folders, rename and move a file, and save a screenshot of your layout.

Common issues

• My folders are next to Project_Portfolio, not inside it. Select them and use {{btn:Move to}} to put them into {{code:Project_Portfolio}}.
• A name has a space or a capital letter. Right-click it, choose {{btn:Rename}} and type it again, like {{code:01_brief}}.
• I can't find a file I moved. Open {{code:01_brief}}, or type part of the name into the search box.
