The Container Folder plugin lets you group multiple home screens or sections under one selection screen. It’s ideal for multi-language apps, franchises, or organizations with distinct departments. Users choose their preferred option on first launch (like a language or location), and the app remembers that choice for future visits (unless they change it manually).
Requirements
This is a Boost plugin, available on the Standard, Growth, and Scale plans
Each selection (e.g., “Home – English,” “Home – Spanish,” or “Store A”) must already exist as its own home screen or folder
How to use the container folder plugin
Log in, go to Builder in the left navigation
Click the + button to open the Plugin Marketplace
Search for Container Folder, then click Add Plugin
Name your plugin (e.g., “Language Selector” or “Store Directory”) and click Add
Before setting up the container:
Create a separate home screen or folder for each version you want to display (e.g., English, Spanish, French, Store A, Store B)
Each should have its own features and layout built beforehand
In the Content tab:
Add your logo or welcome message in the Pre-Selection Content editor (e.g., “Choose your language”)
Under Feature Items, click Add Feature Item
Select each home screen or folder you prepared (English Home, Spanish Home, etc.)
Add an image for each (like a flag or logo)
Click Apply
In the Design tab:
Add a background image (optional)
Adjust feature image settings: choose fill or fit depending on your layout
(Optional) Enable color overlays — pick solid or gradient colors to match your theme
In the Content tab (Configuration section):
The plugin automatically remembers each user’s selection
To allow users to change their choice (like switching language or location), follow these steps:
Copy the query string shown under the Configuration section
Create a new WYSIWYG plugin and add a button labeled “Change Language” or “Change Option”
Set the button’s Action to Deep Link → Custom Query String
Paste the copied query string
Save your changes
Add this WYSIWYG plugin to your Side Menu so users can easily change their selection later
Click the Security tab:
Turn on Require Login to restrict feature access to logged-in users
(Optional) Add tag-based restrictions and choose whether to match any or all tags
Click the Tagging tab:
Enter a tag name to automatically apply to users when they open this feature
Click Add Tag
Click the Purchase tab:
Note: We recommend adding purchase options in the secondary features, not on the container folder itself
Click the Analytics tab to see feature performance:
View data such as number of views, users, and devices over time
Pro tips
Use clear names and images (e.g., flags or store logos) for each selection to avoid confusion.
Always give users a way to return and change their choice using the query string setup.
Keep the container folder focused on selection only. Add content and purchase options inside the secondary screens, not on the main container.
