1. In the left sidebar, click Add a page to create a new parent page.
2. Enter a name for your new page, which will act as the folder.
3. Click the blank space under the page name to place your cursor inside the page body.
4. Type /page to open the block menu.
5. Hover over Page in from the block menu to reveal the subpage options.
6. Click the page name you want to add to your folder.
7. Confirm that your selected page is now added to your folder as a subpage.
8. Repeat the same process to add more pages to your folder.
9. Your new page now acts as a folder where you can store and organize subpages.
