Sections
Sections appear across the top of your Brandfolder and Brandfolder Collections.
They are the broadest way of organizing assets in a Brandfolder and are commonly used to separate assets by their category, type, or purpose. Selecting a section's name will show you all the assets within the section.
Pins
Pins appear right above the search bar. Brandfolder Admins create pins to highlight frequently used search terms. Admins will feature the most relevant pins above the search bar, but you can find additional pins by selecting the pin icon to the left of the search bar.

Labels
If your account has labels, they will appear on the left side of the Brandfolder or Collection that you are accessing. You can open the labels drawer by selecting the two arrow icons. You can view sub-labels by double-clicking on the top-level label.
Additionally, you can use pins or sections in tandem with labels. For example, if you select a pin and then browse labels, you will notice more refined results.
The only labels visible in a collection are labels that are associated with assets in the collection. If an asset is in the Seasonal Ads label and the Holiday collection, the Seasonal Ads label will appear when you access the Holiday collection.
Advanced filters
Selecting the Filters button next to the search bar will open the advanced filters drawer. Here, you can be used to search by tags, file types, custom fields, orientation, SKU search, or upload date. You can also combine multiple filters to narrow your search results further.
You can use the Clear button at the top of the advanced filter drawer to clear your search results.
Use the View Search Query button to see how Brandfolder search filters assets.
View options
When a Guest user visits Brandfolder for the first time, the view options are set to Brandfolder defaults. Selecting View Options will allow you to change the following:
- Layout: You can use the standard grid view or the optional list view.
- Assets per section: The default will display 32 assets per section. Users can view 10, 32, 75, 150, 300, or 1000 assets per section.
- Show custom fields: If custom fields are on the account, users can view the key and value fields in either the grid or list view.
- Asset info: Display asset info and tags in an alternate language.
Organizing and sorting
Utilizing the Organize by section toggle will change whether search results are divided by section or displayed as one group.
The Sort by dropdown allows users to choose from many options such as (creation date, upload date, updated, name, or popularity). If Brandfolder Administrators manually place assets into a specific order, then Guest users will also have a Sort by: Position option.
If Organize by Section is on, you will see arrows to navigate between assets when opening the asset modal.
