# Organize flows with color, annotations, and groups

As you build more flows and their designs become more complex, the ability to organize your flows becomes more important. Flows have several features that enable organization on the canvas and folders to assist with organizing flows in the sidebar.

## Colors

You can configure color highlighting for blocks. This makes individual blocks more distinguishable from other blocks around them. You can add a color by selecting a block, then click <img alt="Style icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-style-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **Change Color** in the menu that appears. This also changes the color of connection lines extended from the block's output ports.

## Annotations

When collaborating with other people or putting a flow in a public workspace, it's helpful to add directions directly on the canvas. This helps explain how to use the flow and what certain blocks are doing. Click <img alt="Add Annotation icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-add-annotation-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **Add Text** in the toolbar to add an annotation. Selecting text in an annotation opens the text formatting menu which has bold, italics, and heading options. If you copy a link, then highlight some text and paste the link, the highlighted text becomes a hyperlink.

## Groups

You can group blocks and annotations together. The group can then be named, given a color, resized, and have blocks added or removed from it. This can be useful when several blocks may be involved in performing a task such as sending an email.

To access the grouping menu, hold the **Shift** key and drag the cursor around a set of blocks. You can also select and hold **⌘** or **Ctrl** while selecting the blocks you want to add. Selecting the file icon will create a group.

## Folders

In [Cloud View](/flows/get-started/flows-native-git#cloud-view), you can organize flows into folders in the sidebar. Using folders helps streamline navigation and maintain a cleaner workspace. In [Local View](/flows/get-started/flows-native-git#local-view), the folder structure mirrors the local repo's structure.

The following procedures guide you through setting up and managing folders in Cloud View to keep your flows organized.

### Create a folder

In the Flows sidebar, click <img alt="Create a new folder or flow" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-add-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> and select **New folder**. An empty folder named **New Folder** appears in the sidebar.

### Add a flow to a folder

In the Flows sidebar, you can drag and drop an existing flow into a folder.

To create a new flow in an existing folder, hover over the folder and click <img alt="View more actions" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-options-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **View more**, then select **Create flow**.

### Rename a folder

In the Flows sidebar, hover over a folder and click <img alt="View more actions" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-options-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **View more**, then select **Rename**. Enter a new name for the folder.

### Add a folder to an existing folder

In the Flows sidebar, hover over a folder and select <img alt="View more actions" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-options-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **View more > Create folder**. You can also drag and drop a folder into another folder.

### Delete a folder

In the Flows sidebar, hover over a folder and select <img alt="View more actions" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-options-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **View more > Delete**. You'll be prompted to confirm the deletion. The deleted folder's contents will move up one level to the containing folder or the sidebar.
