Folder Hierarchy & Creating a Prefab folder...

Getting Started
1

I cant seem to create folders outside of ‘Assets’…

It wont let me into the hierarchies to the left without selecting a folder first. I want to select nothing [then] create a folder. But instead, it will always be a highlighted to begin with, and therefor places the prefab folder (under) assets.

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. You’re supposed to put all of your game’s content in the Assets folder.

This. Everything goes in the assets folder.

Note that you can make extra folders with your regular file explorer. None of these will show up in Unity. But it’s a useful way to keep build, screenshots, promotional videos ect together.
