Can be filtered down to show: maps you own ("My Recent Maps"), maps that belong to the current workspace ("Recent in Workspace"), or all recently viewed maps ("All recent maps").
Drafts
Lists the maps you created in this Workspace that do not belong to any Project in the Workspace. Unique and personal to each Workspace Editor.
Map
A map in Felt
Owner

Admin
Someone with full permissions in the workspace and that workspace’s projects
Editor
Someone with permissions to create and manage maps or data in the workspace
Viewer

Maps in Recents show you all maps you’ve viewed and edited. They can be filtered down the following ways:
All recent maps: shows you all the maps you view and edit, including public maps you view
Recent in Workspace: shows you all the maps you view and edit in the current workspace
My Recent Maps: shows you all the recently opened maps that you created
You can think of Drafts is a staging area for working on new maps you create and own. Maps in Drafts are maps you create and own in the current Workspace that do not belong to any Project yet. You can move maps within the Workspace to a Project you have access to (see below).
You can invite people to view your Drafts, but they will not be able to see any other maps in your Drafts.
You can move maps between Drafts and/or Projects in the Workspace. If you move a map between Workspaces, the map will be duplicated to the target Workspace.
You can move a map when viewing a map in the Workspace
or when viewing a map directly
Felt provides different layout and order options for viewing all maps in any given Project. To see these options, click on the View dropdown on the top-right of any Project page
Workspaces are organized into Projects, which allow you to organize your maps into different spaces within the Workspace.
Projects can either be Public (open to the entire Workspace) or Private (invite only), which allow for finer access control within your organization. Private projects show a lock icon next to the name. Only those invited to private Projects will see the Project listed.
Project visibility is configured when you create the Project, but you can switch the permissions later on by clicking on the ...
on any Project page.
You can also invite external collaborators to specific projects. To invite collaborators to a Project, click on the Share
button in the top right for any Project page. Invited Project collaborators can only see Maps in the Project they’ve been invited to. They cannot see any other Projects or maps in the Workspace.
In each project you can create folders to group a collection of maps. Folders organize maps within the same Project. Folders can also be nested.

Moving Maps to Folders
When moving any map you will see the folders nested under the project in the move modal:
