Manage your team’s content as a team admin or owner


If you’re a team admin or owner, you can organize the team’s content, including those you do not own, but at least have View access to. This includes content contributed by former team members.

You can:  

  • Move and delete folders that you at least have “View access” to 
  • Move items under Designs tab, Brand Templates, Images, and Videos that you at least have “View access” into a new folder

If you’d like to know more about access and permissions, see Sharing designs with your team.

Team owners and admins are also known as ‘Teachers’ in some Education teams.

Delete and move folders

To organize and keep track of your folder structure, see Managing folder contents.

Delete items

If you delete an item that belongs to someone else, the owner can still access it in their

Trash. You can delete items (designs, brand templates, images, videos) from the homepage, Projects page, editor, and from inside folders.

For now, if you delete items owned by another user, you can’t undo it.

  1. From the homepage side panel, select
    Projects.
  2. Hover your cursor over the design you want to delete.
  3. Select the
    More icon that appears on the design thumbnail.
  4. Select
    Move to Trash.

Delete items in bulk

You can delete multiple items in one go. Here’s how.

  1. From the homepage, go to
    Projects.
  2. Select the tab from which you would like to delete items in bulk.
  3. Click and drag your mouse across the items you want to delete. Alternatively, hover your cursor over a design you want to delete and select the checkbox that appears.
  4. Select
    trash icon.
  5. Select Move to Trash to delete the items.

What to expect

    Projects.

    Move. Choose where to move the items:
    1. To an existing folder: 
      • Folders you recently used will appear under the Recent tab, while all your folders (both owned by you and shared with you) will be under the All tab.
    2. To a new folder: 
      • Go to the All tab.
      • Select Your Projects.
      • Select + Create new, name your folder.
      • Select Move to new folder to confirm.
