Document Settings - Default By Structure Type

Could someone please explain to me in lay terms the difference between what appears under the root folder and the root files. Everything highlights yellow under the root folder as expected when I select a particular section. However, If I add a third level, it does not show up. Very confusing. I have watched tutorials, looked at the interactive tutorial, and looked at the manual.

Thank you!

The easiest way to visualise how these work is probably to create four or so nested folders as a test in your binder, starting at the root level:

Then go into the default types by structure tab, and on the Folders section, click through the various levels, and add more once you get to the bottom. It should be more clear, but in a sentence: the rule applies to the level it states, and the last rule applies to that level and all greater ones. If all you have are rules to “Level 2 folders”, then in this example structure above, everything from “Second” and down will be highlighted. Such a rule set my work for Parts (level 1 folders) with Chapters (level 2), where nothing below that level really matters or will ever be used.

Rules that describe levels that actually don’t exist in the project won’t highlight anything, but they will start working once you nest stuff to that level.

This “but” made me smile.
“It should be more clear, but in a sentence” [what follows is even less “clear”]. And this, “Rules that describe levels that actually don’t exist in the project won’t highlight anything, but they will start working once you nest stuff to that level.”
Takes notes, keep a file of “exceptions”.

Could you rephrase that? I do not follow what you are asking for clarification on. Well, I can say this series of statements made me smile, at least.
