Simply click the triangle next to the folder icon to view/hide its content. Modules placed in a folder appear in a submenu of the associated pop-up menu. All changes are applied immediately.

However you choose to arrange your Text modules, when accessed via the File and Amplify menus, and the pane short-cut menu (Find In item), the In menus, Texts are automatically identified and categorized into one of five main menu categories: Modern Bibles, Greek Texts, Hebrew Texts, Latin Texts, and Other Texts.
