• If you are using a remote that is not equipped with a touch surface then you should select the app and hold down the select button until the app begins to move.
• You can now move the selected, vibrating app by swiping left, right, down or up on your touch surface, or by using the directional keys on other remotes.
• Once you have moved your app to the position on the screen you prepare you just need to press the touch surface or press select once again to release the app.
• Repeat these steps for each app you wish to move.

How to Create and Use Folders
If you have a large collections of games, videos, or even keep fit apps on your Apple TV, you may want to put them all inside folders to make them easier to find and in an organized pattern. To do so, follow the instructions as described above.
• Once you have selected and are moving an app you just need to “drop” the app onto another similar app and a folder will be created.
• You will be given the chance to name the folder and the two apps will then be tucked away inside of the folder.
Now you can identify, select and move other appropriate apps to the folder. You can even store folders in the top shelf for easy access. To move the app out of a folder, drag it out.
