### Organize content with folders within an account

If an account on Content Controller has a large content library inside it, consider using folders to group courses and other assets easily.&#x20;

Adding content to folders inside an account works the same way as the [Organizing content with folders](https://guide.contentcontroller.com/content-1/organizing-content-with-folders) page. Just make sure you're in the **Account** section, rather than the **Content** section.

### **How to copy a folder from the content section into an account**&#x20;

1. Select an Account.&#x20;
2. Select **Content** to see content from that account.&#x20;
3. Select the content you'd like to copy to a folder using the checkboxes.&#x20;
4. Select **+ADD.** A dropdown will appear with an option to **Copy Folder** to copy a folder from the content section and all the contents inside it.&#x20;
5. Choose the folder you want to copy from the dialogue.&#x20;
6. Select **Next.**
7. Add optional descriptive notes, then select **Next**.
8. Make sure you are copying the correct folder into your account, and select **Submit.**
9. The result is having two folders with the same content that is *unlinked* from the original folder content.

&#x20;Unlinked: copying a folder to an account does not mean that changes made to that folder in the Content section will also happen to the account.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
