Frequently asked questions about importing a folder structure
What exactly is folder structure importing?
You can import a folder structure to make sure you don’t have to add all the folders in your Prostream project separately. Instead, upload a file with your desired folder structure, so that it is right in your project at once. Of course, you can add separate folders later as needed.
How does importing a folder structure work?
To quickly add many folders at once, upload a folder structure. Prostream allows you to quickly create large numbers of folders based on an Excel (.xlsx) template. More information on importing a folder structure can be found here.
