This explanation should be somewhere else. Probably line 155.

You're right this line wasn't well placed. I moved it to line 157. I also detailled the difference between the two text fields because I didn't find that very clear, I hope this is relevant; please tell me if it isn't.

#### Using the directory structure

This feature mirrors a local structure and imports its PDF files as entries in the library. The group structure is updated dynamically whenever there is a change in the system.

![Fields for collecting by directory structure](<../.gitbook/assets/groups-groupwindow-typedirectorystructure-jabref6.0.png>)

The folder icon at the right of the field _Root path_ allows browsing the file system to select the root directory. When the directory is selected, it automatically fills the field _Name_ with the directory name if it was empty. It also selects _Union_ as hierarchical context by default, since this is the most logical choice for this type of group.
