As your organization creates more project, form, document, and other templates, finding the right one in a single list can become difficult. Folders help you organize related templates and make them easier to find wherever templates are selected in Rocketlane.

Templates that support folders

Folder support depends on the template type.

Supports foldersDoes not support folders
Project templatesSaved Automations
Customer Portal templatesMeeting Page templates
Document templates
Project Update templates
Form templates
Sheet templates
AI Fill templates

Built-in templates and templates created by your organization can both be moved into folders and reordered.


Creating a folder

  1. Go to Templates.
  2. Select the template category you want to organize, such as Project templates.
  3. Select New folder.
  4. Enter a name for the folder.
  5. Save the folder.
NoteFolder names must be unique within each template type. Names are not case-sensitive, so Kickoff and kickoff are treated as the same name.

Folders in different template types can use the same name. For example, you can have a Kickoff folder under both Project templates and Document templates.


Moving templates into a folder

You can move one template or several templates at once.

Moving a single template

  1. Open the row menu for the template.
  2. Select Move to folder.
  3. Select the destination folder.

Moving multiple templates

  1. Select the templates you want to move.
  2. From the bulk action bar, select Move to folder.
  3. Select the destination folder.

The bulk action bar also includes a Delete option for removing the selected templates.

NoteMoving a template into a folder changes only how it is organized. It does not affect automations, projects, integrations, or other workflows that already use the template.

Managing uncategorized templates

Templates that have not been moved into a folder appear under Uncategorized.

Existing templates remain uncategorized until you create folders and move them. Creating a folder does not move or reorganize templates automatically.

NoteWhen you duplicate a template stored in a folder, the copy is added to the same folder. It does not return to Uncategorized.

Reordering templates

You can reorder templates within a folder or outside folders. You can also select and reorder multiple templates together.

Reordering changes only the position of the templates you move. Templates you do not select retain their existing position.


Deleting a folder

Deleting a folder does not delete the templates stored inside it. The templates are moved back to Uncategorized.


Finding folders in template pickers

Folders appear wherever you select a supported template in Rocketlane. For example, when creating a project from a template, the template picker groups available project templates by folder instead of displaying one flat list.

Folders do not change how templates work. A template remains available wherever its type is supported, regardless of which folder contains it.


Where templates are used

The following table lists common places where each supported template type is used.

Template typeWhere it is used
Project templatesCreating a project, importing a template into an existing project, automation actions, the public API, and supported third-party integrations
Customer Portal templatesChanging a project's customer portal, automation actions, and portal-related webhook events
Document templatesCreating documents inside projects, automation actions, and Rocketlane's AI document assistant
Project Update templatesCreating project updates, automation actions, and scheduled automatic updates
Form templatesAttaching forms to tasks or cards, automation triggers and actions, and customer portal widgets
Sheet templatesCreating sheets, attaching sheets to tasks, and sheet-related automations

FAQ

Can I create two folders with the same name?

Not within the same template type. Folder names are not case-sensitive, so changing capitalization does not make the name unique.

You can use the same folder name in different template types.

If I duplicate a template, is the copy added to the same folder?

Yes. If the original template is stored in a folder, its copy is added to that folder. If the original is uncategorized, the copy remains uncategorized.

Does moving a template break an automation or another workflow that uses it?

No. Folders are purely organizational. Moving a template does not change its identity or affect where it is already being used.

What happens to templates when I delete their folder?

The templates move to Uncategorized. Deleting a folder does not delete its contents.

Can I reorder templates within a folder?

Yes. You can reorder templates within folders or outside folders, including multiple templates at once. Templates you do not move keep their current position.

Can built-in templates be organized into folders?

Yes. Built-in templates can be moved into folders and reordered alongside templates created by your organization.
