 The following table shows the default values for each level in the folder structure. You can override the values, as well as the default location, using properties in the *Directory.build.props* file.
 
-| Folder level | Description | Examples |
-|--|--|--|
-| Type of output | Categories of build outputs, such as binaries, intermediate/generated files, published applications, and NuGet packages. |`bin`, `obj`, `publish`, `package` |
-| Project name | Separates output by each project. | `MyApp` |
-| Pivot | Distinguishes between builds of a project for different configurations, target frameworks, and runtime identifiers. If multiple elements are needed, they're joined by an underscore (`_`). Can be customized using the `ArtifactsPivots` MSBuild property. | `debug`, `debug_net8.0`, `release`, `release_linux-x64` |
