Creating custom folder structures

Create subfolders for different types of documents within your project document folder to make locating the right info even easier.

For example, you can create a Forms folder for all your forms, or create a Safety folder for all your safety documents.

Creating form templates

You can also create custom form templates that can be used across all your projects. To do so:
