Folder¶
A simple container used to hold and organize Roblox instances.
Description¶
A simple container used to hold and organize Roblox instances. Unlike other container classes like Model, a folder generally offers no additional functionality. Folders behave the same way as folders in a computer file system, meaning they can also be parented to each other.
Usage in UI Hierarchies¶
Each Folder in your UI hierarchy can define its own UILayout (UIListLayout, UIGridLayout, UIPageLayout, UITableLayout), or use a default position-based layout. For example, you can set up a Frame with multiple Folder children, each with a different UILayout type. Additionally, Folder contents are exempt from the effects of a UILayout sibling.
Inheritance¶
Nova inheritance: Instance → Folder
Known subclasses: GeneratedFolder
Inherited members¶
Inherited from Instance: 8 properties, 36 methods, 7 events. They are documented on the base class page.

Members declared by Roblox's Folder class (or by a missing base class) that Nova does not expose. Use this list to scope a migration; the compatibility guide has the recommended workaround.
