URL folder
A URL folder is a part of a web address that groups pages under it, such as services in /services/web-design, so the address shows where a page sits in the site.

What it is
Folders make addresses readable and predictable: visitors can guess where they are, and search engines see which pages belong together. A folder can have its own page at its address, often one that lists the pages inside.
Moving a page to another folder changes its address, so links to it need updating and the old address should redirect to the new one.
In Xodia
The Pages panel shows pages as a tree of folders, up to five levels deep. New folder adds one, a page's settings choose its parent folder and slug with a preview of the address, and moving a page or folder updates links and writes redirects.
A CMS collection has a URL folder too, where its items live, such as blog for /blog/post-name, and it can sit inside other folders, such as /resources/blog.
