The following characters cannot be used in folder names. If you use reserved characters in document names, the characters appear in the published Player and document output. However, when you publish to document formats such as the Job Aid and Training Guide, the documents themselves cannot be saved with these characters in the file name, so they are converted to underscores.

Multi-user Considerations
You can create, rename, move, copy, or delete a folder when you are working online or offline. The Developer follows specified rules to resolve folder conflicts (see Manage Folder Conflicts, Refresh the Library or Outline Editor). When working offline, you can only delete folders that are empty or contain new documents that have never been checked in.
You do not have to check in or check out a folder. As you create new folders, they are created automatically on the server during synchronization or when you check in a document saved to that folder. In a multi-user environment, the team leader should create the folder structure before authors start creating content.
To create a new folder in the Library:
From the Library, select the folder in which you want to create a subfolder, or select the root node / of the Library to create a new folder under the root node.
On the File menu, point to New and choose Folder.
You can also right-click the folder and choose New Folder.
Type a name for the folder (up to 256 characters).
