# 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 ![](/files/-LH9D3MhB_u3GCkmB1kh) .

![](/files/-LH9D3MojwZBqa7du23E)

*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.
