RIght now, on powerbi.com, there is no ability to organize reports, dashboards, etc into folders. If you have a lot of content or users, this gets messy quickly.

Please add the ability to organize into folders (and secure those folders separately)

Hi Nikhil,

We are waiting for this since long, is there any tentative time line that we are looking when this can be released?

This feature is very much needed, please add this feature to be more efficient to manage reports and access for large contents of reporting.

Thank you, Nikhil! Please stay committed to following through this time, unlike in summer 2016.

The folder concepts needs to be placed in Workspace as well. It is becoming unmanageable to look for reports. As an administrator and publisher of reports. Organization is key in the Workspace.

Would be great for this to work for all workspaces and not just apps. Please bear this in mind in your design and implementation.

Yes, please allow us to organize reports and panels and not only apps. This is important when the development is centralized at the IT department and the company has too many users.

Any update on this? If Apps was your solution then it's not really a solution.... The main problem is that if we want to have a report in two folders (or apps as it is now) we have to republish the data source and report in both place - taking up value memory and it also makes a mission to manage.

The navigation doesn't help too much. Users go to one workspace to view all reports. Also it's too complicate to train users as instructed in the link: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-the-new-power-bi-navigation-preview/

Please update us whether this is actually going to happen. Even just one level of folders would help
