# Create a directory

To achieve a clearer storage structure, Chamilo lets you create directories (folders) and sub-directories by clicking on the folder icon with the yellow star symbol ![](https://2324583860-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlDtbPjZhax0iCyOmO06r%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5df376173a3da31a184b18d719be9d4661994ef2%2Fgraphics114.png?alt=media) .

*Illustration: Documents – creating directories*

To create a directory:

* click on the *Create folder* icon,
* enter the directory name,
* click on the *Create the folder* button,
* The new directory has been created and can be used right away to store new documents.

  If you want to create a sub-directory, open the directory you want to create it in and follow the same procedure.
