This brief tutorial will show you how to manage your structure of your files on your site. You go to the little manage or tool icon here and hover you will select site assets. This is where you could locate your documents, your images, so it's going to look like this with a file structure such as that with icons.

If you want to browse to a specific folder such as documents you can do so there. From here you can click add asset if you want to add it to that structure. You can click and go further in and add your assets there.

If you wish to add another folder say we're going to go back up to our documents folder, add folder, just enter your folder name and hit save and that will create a new folder. Please note if you are wanting to reorganize that if you move your documents here in the site assets you will probably have broken images and broken links on your site.

If you move anything after it's already added to a module or linked it is not going to dynamically update it in whatever location that link or that image exists. So this is only going ahead and you know creating your structure if you're maybe adding a new page and you want to organize your files and images that are present on that page that type of work.

As I said anything that's already present in content will not get updated if you move them after they've already been added or linked. This is how you can add new files and folders via site assets in DNN 9.
