Managing folders
A folder is like a directory for storing drawings or other folders.
This system provides tools for classifying or grouping drawings within
an electrical project.
Folders are identified by their mark and description in the dockable
panel.

User data / Translatable data
The user data is available across the entire electrical project. It
is used to store personal information, which can be displayed in the drawings.
There are two types of user data: translatable user data (translated during
project translation), and non-translatable
user data.
The Customize... button lets
you access the folder user data.
