Folders

How to use the Pathogenwatch folders to manage your genomes

Folders Page

Folders are a tool for managing & organising your genomes. Folders can be managed on the Folders page, and opening a Folder allows you to manage individual genomes on the Folder Viewer page.

The "Folders" page is accessible from both the side (hamburger) menu ("Browse folders") and from the Upload Page ("Previous uploads & folders").

You can only see folders you have permission to access.

The folders are shown as cards, and grouped into two sections: "My Folders" (owned by you) and "Shared Folders" (shared with you by others).

Clicking on a Folder card will bring you to the Folder Viewer page.

Folder Viewer Page

You are automatically brought to the Folder Viewer page when you upload files, because this is where you can monitor the upload progress. Once the upload is complete, this is also where you can:

• rename the folder (by clicking on the name)

• upload more files into the folder

• manage access to the folder and the genomes within it (private, public)

• share with specific users or groups (by clicking on the "Share" button)

• interact with these genomes the same way as on the Genomes page

From the Folders page, you can also delete folders owned by you (move them to the bin). This deletes the genomes within the folder as well, but moves them to the Folders bin, where you have 30 days to recover the deleted folder & genomes. Deleting individual genomes, on the other hand, is irreversible.
