Folder Organization ​

Organize your documents into folders to keep your workspace tidy and find documents easily.

Creating Folders ​

There are two ways to create a folder:

From the Toolbar ​

  1. Click the folder icon (with plus) in the workspace toolbar
  2. Enter a folder name in the modal
  3. Click Create to create the folder at the root level

From a Context Menu ​

  1. Right-click on an existing folder
  2. Select New Folder
  3. Enter a folder name
  4. The new folder will be created inside the selected folder

Moving Documents into Folders ​

Drag and Drop ​

  1. Click and hold the grip handle (six dots) on the left side of a document
  2. Drag the document over a folder
  3. The folder will highlight when you can drop
  4. Release to move the document into the folder

Moving Between Folders ​

You can drag documents:

  • From one folder to another
  • From inside a folder to the root level
  • Between nested folders at any depth

Expanding and Collapsing Folders ​

Click to Toggle ​

Click on a folder row to expand or collapse it. When expanded, you'll see all documents and subfolders inside.

Chevron Button ​

Click the chevron icon (>) next to a folder to expand it without selecting. Click again (v) to collapse.

Expand/Collapse All ​

Use the toolbar buttons to:

  • Expand All: Show all nested content
  • Collapse All: Hide all nested content

Folder Hierarchy ​

Folders can be nested to create a hierarchy:

My Workspace
├── Projects/
│   ├── Project Alpha/
│   │   ├── Requirements.md
│   │   └── Design Notes.md
│   └── Project Beta/
│       └── Kickoff Notes.md
├── Meeting Notes/
│   ├── Weekly Standup.md
│   └── Quarterly Review.md
└── Ideas.md

Visual Indentation ​

Each nesting level adds indentation so you can easily see the document hierarchy at a glance.

Folder Actions ​

Right-click on a folder to access these actions:

ActionDescription
RenameChange the folder name
New FolderCreate a subfolder inside this folder
New DocumentCreate a document inside this folder
DeleteMove the folder to trash (documents inside are also trashed)

Tips for Organizing ​

  1. Use descriptive names: Name folders by project, date, or topic
  2. Keep it shallow: 2-3 levels of nesting is usually enough
  3. Group related items: Keep documents that belong together in the same folder
  4. Archive old work: Create an "Archive" folder for completed projects

Keyboard Shortcuts ​

ShortcutAction
Click folderExpand/collapse folder
Click documentOpen in editor
Drag + DropMove document to folder

Troubleshooting ​

Cannot Drop Here ​

If you see a "Cannot move" message, you may be trying to:

  • Drop a folder into itself
  • Drop a parent folder into one of its children (circular reference)

Move the item to a different location instead.

Document Disappeared ​

If a document seems missing, check:

  1. Collapsed folders - expand them to see contents
  2. Trash - the document may have been deleted
  3. Use the search function to find it by name
