# List folders

> List folders in one tree. `type` is required (`workflow` or `template`). Pass `tree=true` for the full nested tree with counts; otherwise list direct children of `parentId` (`null` for root). Deleting a folder later unfiles contained workflows or templates and does not delete them.
