Unable to add items in source contol explorer

Visual Studio 2017

In Source control explorer I have a workspace set up but I cannot add folders or files because the "New Folder" and "add items to folder" options are greyed.

How can I get these buttons un-greyed?

Hi there! :)

From what I understand, this usually only happens when you don't map it out correctly unless it's a problem with your Admin side so check with them too. Backtrack and ensure you map the source control folder to local workspace folder, then try creating the new folder and add items to folder again.
