# Folders

Folders provide a way to organise your documents. Leegality dashboard has some pre-built sections including Sent, Received, Draft, Completed, and Expired.

However, folders give you flexibility if you want to categorise your documents any other way.

> **Info — note**
>
> The order of folders is determined by creation time, with the earliest created folders appearing at the top of the list and newly created folders at the bottom.
