||||

## Browse dashboards
|
||||
|

On the **Dashboards** page, you can browse and manage folders and dashboards. This includes the options to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Create folders and dashboards
|
||||
- Move dashboards between folders
|
||||
- Delete multiple dashboards and folders
|
||||
- Navigate to a folder
|
||||

{{% admonition type="note" %}}
|
||||
As of Grafana 10.2, there is no longer a special **General** folder. Dashboards without a folder are now shown at the top level alongside folders.

|

## Create a dashboard folder
|
||||
|
||||
Folders help you organize and group dashboards, which is useful when you have many dashboards or multiple teams using the same Grafana instance.
|
||||
|
||||
**Before you begin:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure that you have Grafana Admin or Super Admin permissions. For more information about dashboard permissions, refer to [Dashboard permissions][].
|
||||
> **Before you begin:** Ensure you have Editor permissions or greater to create folders. For more information about dashboard permissions, refer to [Dashboard permissions][].
|
||||
|
||||
**To create a dashboard folder:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Sign in to Grafana.
|
||||
1. Click **Dashboards** in the left-side menu.
|
||||
1. On the Dashboards page, click **New** and select **New folder** in the dropdown.
|
||||
1. Click **Dashboards** in the main menu.
|
||||
1. On the **Dashboards** page, click **New** and select **New folder** in the drop-down.
|
||||
1. Enter a unique name and click **Create**.
|
||||
|
||||
Do not use the name of a folder that has already been provisioned (such as "General") and avoid special characters (except underscores and hyphens).
|
||||
|
||||
When you save a dashboard, you can either select a folder for the dashboard to be saved in or create a new folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manage dashboards
|

|
||||
Alerts cannot be placed in folders with slashes (\ /) in the name. If you wish to place alerts in the folder, do not use slashes in the folder name.
|
||||
{{% /admonition %}}
|
||||
|
||||
On the Dashboards page, you can:
|
||||
**To edit the name of a folder:**
|
||||
|
||||
- create a folder
|
||||
- create a dashboard
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
- navigate to a folder page where you can assign folder and dashboard permissions

|
||||
1. Navigate to the folder by selecting it in the list, or searching for it.
|

||||
### Folder permissions
|
||||
|
||||
- Move or delete dashboards in a folder
|
||||
- Rename a folder (available on the Settings tab)
|
||||
- Assign permissions to folders (which are inherited by the dashboards in the folder)
|
||||
You can assign permissions to a folder. Any permissions you assign are inherited by the dashboards in the folder. You can assign permissions to organization roles, teams, and users.
|
||||
|
||||
To navigate to the dashboard folder page, hover over the name of the folder and click **Go to folder** in the dashboard search result list or on the Dashboards page.
|
