You can sort folders alphabetically or put them in the desired order using drag and drop. Click on Sort under My folders.

Adding references to Folder:
Via Not in Folder you can see the references that are not (yet) placed in a folder. Select the references you want to move to a folder. By clicking on the icon "Assign selected references to other folders" you can move the references to the desired (sub) folder.

Organize in Projects

Projects are separate reference collections with unique folders, references, tags, share, etc. For most users it's enough to organize references into folders. But it can be useful for users working on multiple research projects with different groups of people to include references and folders in a project. When writing a document, you can only use references from one project. For more information, see the YouTube tutorial about Projects below.
Your RefWorks account has a default project called Untitled Project. You can change the name and create new projects on the Manage Projects page.

 

 

Add references to a project:
Go to the My projects screen and click on the name of the project to which you want to add references. This project will be the (current) project.
Search a database and use the Export to RefWorks function. The references are added in the newly selected (current) project. Or add references using + Add.

Copying references between projects

You can copy references from one Project to another.Attachments are included in the copy process. You may copy references to current Project, which will duplicate selected references with unique Ref IDs.

Note: References can only be copied - they cannot be moved.

This is only available for previously created Projects; a new Project cannot be created during the copy or move process. Only one process is possible at a time.
