Content in the SDL Tridion Docs repository is stored in folders. When creating a folder, you define the type of content that the folder can contain. Tridion Docs does not use the file name or location of an object for addressing or linking. Therefore, folders are created for organizing, storing, and locating objects.
Tridion Docs assigns each object a unique ID (GUID). Therefore, you can move or rename objects or folders to different locations without breaking links or references.
Content folders contain objects, such as DITA maps, DITA topics, reuse files, folders, or images. When you create a folder, you must specify the type of object to be stored in the folder. The folder and the subfolders can contain objects only of the specified type.
The types are:
Image: Illustrations or photographs
Map: DITA maps that include, Bookmap, maps, and Avaya-specified maps
Topic: DITA topics
Publications
Other (Word, PDF, ...): Non-XML documents, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF, PowerPoint files, and Zip files.
Library topic: Currently the Library topic folder type is not in use.
If you need a new project folder in the repository, create a request on the Infosolutions project. There are additional steps required when adding a new project in Tridion Docs. After the project folder is created, you can create subfolders for each deliverable and common content.
