Easy Tech TutsHow to Create Folders in Microsoft Loop Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Microsoft Loop doesn't have traditional folders, but subpages work the same way — letting you group related content into nested, collapsible sections. This guide shows how to build a folder-style structure using subpages and move existing pages into it.
01Open your workspace directory
Open your Microsoft Loop app and select the working directory you want to organize.
02Find the parent page
Go to the left sidebar content tree and locate the specific document you want to organize under.
03Open the subpage options
Hover over the title, click the three dots icon, and select 'Add New Subpage' from the dropdown list.
04Name your folder
Enter a descriptive folder name and press Enter to lock in the new subpage boundary.
05Move existing pages into it
Click and hold external page nodes in the sidebar and drag them into your new subfolder to organize related content.
Frequently asked questions
Does Microsoft Loop have a dedicated folder feature?
Not exactly — subpages act as the folder equivalent, letting you nest related pages under a parent page in the sidebar.
Can I nest folders multiple levels deep?
Yes, you can create multiple layers of sub-nodes to group distinct content types as deeply as your project needs.
Can I collapse folders in the sidebar to reduce clutter?
Yes, expanding and collapsing multi-tiered workspace layouts helps keep the active page list scannable.
What happens to a page's content when I move it into a subfolder?
Dragging a page into a subpage location reorganizes its place in the sidebar tree without altering its content.
