How to retrieve and update a subfolder in the FOLDER Structure?

Hi, [Giovanni ](https://discourse.openehr.org/u/surfer).  Specifically, when using the **openEHR Tool**,  how to represent the **path to FOLDER**?  Now, whatever the path is, the operation would return the whole FOLDER Tree Structure.

Thanks.

Possible answer in another Topic "[*Add a composition to a folder via openEHR REST API*](https://discourse.openehr.org/t/add-a-composition-to-a-folder-via-openehr-rest-api/4388/2?u=linforest)":

Since the Directory endpoint always updates the whole structure you simple put it in the Folder structure which represents the directory .
