Difference between Projects and Folders

Hi at all!
Maybe, my question is stupid but I don't understand what is the difference between create a projects with folders and modules and create a owner Folder with folders and modules child.

Someone could explain me the difference?

Thanks in advance

Not sure how to say this correctly, but basically a "Project" defines the boundaries of work whereas a "Folder" simple organizes the work. Projects have characteristics like triggers and partitions and can be moved (archived/restored) in other databases.

It matters a great deal which folders and modules are within the Project (the boundaries), it matters not much the folder organization therein.

Houses have rooms and rooms have sub-rooms, but the house is the principal organization of the neighborhood; has an address, insurance, single owner, utilities.

  • Projects may contain Triggers and partitions and may be archived and restored.
  • No two Projects in the database may have the same name (also top-level folders).

Not sure the above is adequate.
