# Prof | Zipping a Folder

## How do I zip a folder?

If you are uploading multiple assignments at once or uploading a multiple versions assignment, you will be required to upload a zipped (compressed) folder. 

To zip the folder that has all of your starting and solution files in it (or whatever you want to zip in this world unrelated to ExPrep):

- ➡️ Locate the folder in your File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
- **➡️ Right Click** on the folder.
- - Windows: **Compress to Zip File**
    - Mac: **Compress** "File Name"

![Mac OS showing finder menu and "Compress" a folder.](https://support.excelpreparation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/compress2.png?width=357&height=247&name=compress2.png)

✨**Congratulations!** You will then see a new folder with a zipper on it, indicating that the file has successfully been compressed.
