Hi,

I was organising my collections into folders, so I selected one collection, created multiple folders and then placed the collection in one of them. But when I selected the next collection and checked the folders all the ones that were empty were no longer there.

Am not sure if this is how it is supposed to work or if it is a bug.

Thanks  
Steve

Yes, that’s how it works @SynopsisLabs folders only remain ‘patent‘ if you put something inside of them at creation
