2. Type a name, for example References, and click Create.

   Cancel closes the sheet and makes nothing.

3. Look at the folders panel.

   The new folder appears under Top level with 0 files. A message says Created folder “References”. With the folder chosen, Rename and Delete show under the panel.

4. With a folder chosen, click New Folder again.

   The sheet now says Inside “References”, so the new folder is created inside the chosen one.

5. Choose the new folder.

   A folder with nothing in it says: This folder is empty. Drag files onto it, or use Move to… on a file. A message says Created folder “Contracts”.
