Tips and Tricks

1. Keep Hierarchies to 3-4 Levels

Deeply nested folders make content harder to find.

2. Keep Folder Names Short

• Use concise, descriptive names
• Use numbers or dates to make ordering clear

3. Use Categories and Folders for Different Purposes

• Categories: Broad thematic classification (e.g., Tech, Business, Personal)
• Folders: Concrete project or topic organization

4. Clean Up Regularly

• Delete or archive folders you no longer use
• Review your folder structure periodically

5. Agree on Team Folder Structure in Advance

When using folders as a team, establish a structure everyone can follow.

FAQ

Q1: Is there a maximum folder depth?

A: The maximum depth depends on your plan.

We recommend keeping hierarchies to 3-4 levels even when your plan allows more, as deeper nesting makes content harder to find.

Q2: Can I create content directly inside a folder?

A: Yes. When you have a folder open, click "+ New" to create content inside that folder.

Q3: Can I change the sort order of folders?

A: Currently, folders can be sorted by creation date, update date, or title. Manual reordering is planned for a future update.

Q4: Are empty folders automatically deleted?

A: No, empty folders are kept. Delete them manually if they are no longer needed.
