Before requesting a folder, consider if you already have a folder or if a folder already exists for your organization. You can browse groups in Manifest, or reach out to Manifest Support for help and we can match-make you with an existing folder. If you aren't sure about how to name your folder or where it belongs, see Manifest Group and Folder Naming Advice and Philosophy.

In addition, you may consider creating subfolders instead if it is applicable. While main folders Manifest can only be created by Manifest Service administrators, subfolders can be created by anyone with admin access to the folder it resides in. See Manifest - Working With Folders for more details.
