Folder tree settings

Apidog provides a left-side folder tree setting feature for API documentation, allowing you to customize the style and layout according to your needs.

Access the folder tree settings

Clicking on the folder you want to modify within Apidog will take you to the folder tree settings, where you can customize a specific folder style.

Folder tree display style

General Folder: By default, folders are displayed in a folder format. You can expand or collapse the folder by clicking on it.



Module Title: Displays as pure titles, used to differentiate between various modules.



Go to the Subfolder: When a folder contains extensive content, you can use this style. Clicking on the folder will navigate to a sub-page focused on the current folder's content.

Expand/collapse the folder by default

 **Global Automatic**: This is the default option, which automatically adjusts the expansion or collapse of folders based on the number of items they contain, ensuring a rich left-side folder tree when the document is opened.  **Manual Setting**: With this option enabled, you can configure which folder should expand or collapse by default according to your preferences.  ### Folder contents displaying setting

Custom Content: When you click on the folder, it will show the text content that you have personalized by default. This text can serve as an introductory message or provide a brief overview of the folder's contents.



Sub-list: Clicking on the folder will display an index of the content within that folder, helping readers quickly understand the content.



Hide: Clicking on the folder will only expand or collapse the folder without displaying any content.
