Managing links with folders

Learn how to organize and manage access to your links on Dub using folders.

This feature is only available for Pro plans and above.

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.

In this guide, we’ll walk through how to use folders to organize and manage access to your links on Dub.
