Sorry if this is a repeat, but what Folder and Groups do is pretty simple...
Groups are simply for organizing numerous documents in a book file since the
contents can be collapsed when not being viewed. They have no effect on
chapter or page numbering.
Folders are for a single chapter that is bro

Yes, I'd pretty much come to that conclusion about starting on new pages
for each file, Peter. Disappointing, but not unexpected.
It's going to play hob with xrefs, but getting this organized in my head is
currently far more valuable. Once it's organized and I have the document

This is a great way to organize content, but individual documents require

One FrameMaker technique that may help is creating container documents with
import-by-reference content.

I use folders to separate groups of files. For example, a Front Matter
folder holds all the various title page, TOC, preface, etc. files. There
is a folder for each part and one to hold appendixes. At the end of the

I use folders and groups as a regular part of maintaining hundreds of
individual documents residing in over 60 books. Some of the documents
are versions of others, so those documents are nested under a folder.

You can select an arbitrary number of files in the book, and then paginate
them so that they use the 1st Page Side: Next Available setting. I would
have thought you could select the Group/Folder item and set the pagination
for everything in that group w/o having to highlight them all, but

Has anyone here used folders and groups in their unstructured books? Is
there any information out there on the how and when and why of using them,
or when one is better used than the other?
