# Binders



Binders organize documents, sections, and other binders into a hierarchical structure that is useful for packaging related documents together for easier management or eventual publishing. Binders are a kind of document and many of the Document API calls, such as metadata, retrieving and setting properties, security, etc. can be used directly on a binder and will not be replicated here. All API calls related to files and renditions will not work on a binder object. Binders do have unique APIs that allow for interrogating and manipulating the binder structure.
