What is an immutable folder?
An immutable folder is a folder with stronger rules about structure or membership so your queue stays predictable. Exact behavior can vary by platform version; this guide sets expectations at a high level.
Why it exists
Some workflows—like curated courses or shared queues—need stability more than flexibility.
Immutable folders reduce accidental edits that would break a carefully ordered list.
Use them when you want the folder to behave more like a locked playlist than a scratchpad.
Common issues
I cannot reorder items in this folder
That is expected for immutable folders — they protect a curated order. Use a regular folder if you need free reordering.
Something moved to Done without me dragging it
Check folder rules and autoplay settings. Immutable folders pair with stricter queue behavior on some platforms.
When should I use immutable vs a normal folder?
Use immutable for courses, shared queues, or any list you do not want accidentally reshaped. Use normal folders for everyday saves.
