- Scroll down to Assign Visibility and search for existing folders to add the user to.
- You may also inactivate a user from this page.
I’d be nice to sort folders or move them around at the Top Level so that the folders are not sorted only by the order you create them.
Also, I don’t see the ability to delete a folder either. Can that be added along with the sort?
Hey Daniel – thanks for the feedback! Sorting folders isn’t currently available, but I’ve shared that with our product team. The ability to delete folders does exist, but it is a permission that has to be granted to you by your admin. If you have questions on how to go about deleting a folder or changing your permissions, please reach out to helpdesk@emailonacid.com and they can walk you through it!
