How to create an empty folder in the system before deciding what to put inside it

To create an empty folder, turn on builder mode, click the create folder icon, and confirm without adding any item — previously, the system required something to be added right away; now it doesn't anymore.

Why is having an empty folder useful?

Organizing a system's structure often happens in stages: first you decide how the folders will be split up, and only then do apps and tables get placed inside each one. Requiring immediate content to create a folder forces the work into the wrong order.

Being able to create the empty folder first gives you the freedom to plan the account's structure before populating it, which is especially useful when reorganizing a system that's already in use.
