Subfolders & Labels in Make: A Smarter Way to Organize Your Workspace

In this walkthrough, Vicente breaks down one of Make's newest organizational releases: subfolders and labels. If your workspace has grown into dozens (or hundreds) of scenarios living in one flat folder, this video shows you exactly how to clean it up — and why doing so matters more than just tidiness.

🔍 Inside the Build:

* The Problem with Flat Folders: Vicente shows a real "Account Management" folder holding 16+ scenarios, all lumped together regardless of what they actually do.
* Creating Subfolders: Watch him spin up a "Partner Portal" and an "Onboarding" subfolder, then simply drag-and-drop scenarios into each — instantly turning an uncategorized pile into a clean, browsable structure.
* Ditching the Naming Crutch: Vicente explains why numbered scenario names (like "3," "3.3," "ops4") become unnecessary once folders do the organizing for you — and why that clarity also helps AI agents querying Make via MCP, since they follow the folder and team structure to find what they need.
* Labels — A Second Layer of Organization: Beyond folders, Vicente creates labels like "Gmail" and "AI" and applies them across scenarios in different folders, giving him an instant visual way to spot which scenarios touch which tools.
* Filtering at Scale: See how labels let you filter dozens of scenarios in seconds — a game-changer once your instance grows past 100+ scenarios — and how labels aren't exclusive, so any scenario can carry as many as you need.

Vicente's takeaway: folders keep your workspace structured, but labels are the fastest way to actually find what you're looking for once things get big — start using both together rather than relying on scenario names to do all the work.

* MCP + AI Agents (Folder-guided scenario discovery)

💡 Pro-Tip from Vicente: "Labels are the quickest way to sort and filter once you have multiple teams or a lot of folders. Use them alongside folders instead of naming your scenarios like a filing system." 🔗 Make
