Folders are a great way to organize and manage access to your links on Dub.

With folders, you can:

  1. Organize links by marketing channels. E.g. if you're using Dub for both your affiliate program and for SMS marketing, you can create folders for both so those links doesn't clutter your main links dashboard.
  2. Manage access to links across your team. E.g. if you have marketing teams from different departments within your Dub workspace, you can create folders for each team with role-based access controls to ensure members can only see the links that they should have access to.

To do that, open the dropdown next to the folder in your links dashboard and select the "Set as Default" option:
