# Folder Rules Overview

## Folder rules turn your plays into the cutup tree. Each rule adds folders and playlists — a folder per formation, the classic down-and-distance buckets, one playlist for a question you typed. Stack them in a definition and you have a complete breakdown that rebuilds itself on every new game.

### How Rules Become Your Tree

Each enabled rule contributes its folders and playlists to the tree, and the rule order in the definition **is** the order in the tree — drag the  first rule to the top and its folders lead.

Rules live in the column set's catalog; a definition just picks  which ones run. That split is what makes recipes reusable — build "Formations" once, use it in every definition on that column set. The enable checkbox in the Column Set editor turns a rule off **everywhere** without deleting it.

Three ways in:

- Column Set editor → **Folder Rules** tab (the catalog itself).
- The definition editor's rule lists — including **+ Add Folder Rule** to build one in place.
- Right-click a generated folder in the tree → **Edit Folder Rule**.

 

Now lets get into this deeper by looking at the [Rule Editor here](https://help.proquickdraw.com/helpcenter/cutupgeneratorweb/rule-editor?hsLang=en).
