Add/Delete/Rename collaboration folders

If you are a collaboration lead or a collaboration member, you can:

When eArray creates a collaboration, it also creates a root or "parent" folder with the same name as the collaboration. You can add subfolders to this root folder or to its subfolders. You can remove or rename any subfolder but not the root folder.

Folders and subfolders that appear in the collaboration space do not appear in your regular user workspace.
