When done, you should see your new folder in the document library and can start adding files or creating subfolders within it. To add a new file, see [Create a new file in a document library](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-new-file-in-a-document-library-7eda06ad-97bb-4b98-988b-f0ddf40a3652). To upload existing files, see [Upload files and folders to a document library](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/upload-view-and-remove-project-files-or-documents-bf64f2b5-c32c-4ee9-9c1c-452f22ef832f).  
  
.       If you don't see your new folder in the library, refresh your browser. In some cases, you might  consider using views instead off orders. You can filter, group, and sort [files in views.](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-change-or-delete-a-view-of-a-list-or-library-27ae65b8-bc5b-4949-b29b-4ee87144a9c9) If you have a large library, a combination of views and folders might work best.
