Request for Direct Access to Subdirectory in Workbook

can I please have a way to get back into my subdirectory folder in my workbook? I don't mean having a popup in the top left - I mean actually being able to go to that screen. it's very annoying having to go to my root directory by clicking the clay button every time i want to get to the subdirectory and create a new workbook. screenshot attached

Based on the available documentation, we have information about creating folders in your workspace, but there isn't specific guidance on navigating between subdirectories and folders within workbooks. The current workflow appears to require going back to the root directory through the Clay button to access different folders, which matches your experience. What specific folder structure are you working with - are these folders within a single workbook, or are you trying to navigate between different workbooks that are organized in folders?

Hey - you can go back to your home page to move between workbooks. But if you meant creating a new workbook directly inside a subdirectory, that's not currently supported from the workbook view itself. You'll need to go to the root first. Happy to suggest it to the team if that's what you meant! Let me know if you have more questions.

No need to move the workbook. I just want to be able to open up the full subdirectory page so I don't have to click through a ton of folders just to go to that subdirectory and create a new file
