Organize your Library panel

You currently have quite a few assets in your Library panel. To keep these assets organized, easy to find, and categorized by type, you'll create folders, then move the assets into the folders.

Tip: Keeping your library panel organized is a good practice for any movie that you author, especially because others working on the same file can then locate assets easily.

1 | If the Library panel is not open, choose Window > Library.
2 | Expand and enlarge the window, as necessary, to view all the assets in the Library panel. At the bottom of the Library panel, click the New Folder button four times, to create four new folders.
3 | Double-click the name of untitled folder 1, and rename it Car Animation Movie Clips. Then press Enter or Return.
4 | Rename the other three folders Sounds, Artwork, and Buttons.
5 | Drag View 1 Car, View 2 Car, View 3 Car, and Car Animation to the Car Animation Movie Clips folder.
6 | Drag ping.mp3 and track1.mp3 to the Sounds folder.
7 | Drag view1.png, view2.png, and view3.png to the Artwork folder.
8 | Drag Button 1, Button 2, and Button 3 to the Buttons folder. With the Buttons folder selected, click New Folder again to create a subfolder with the Buttons folder.
9 | Name the new folder Button Movie Clips, then drag the remaining button movie clip assets to this folder.
10 | Close the Library panel and save your document.
