Folders & Library

One home for everything

Your Library is the single place you go to see and manage what you've stored — it doesn't matter whether an item is a document, a note, a video or audio message, or a notebook entry; they all live side by side in the same view. There's no separate "Documents" page or "Notes" page to check — everything is here.

See Documents, Notes, Video & Audio Messages and Notebooks & Journal for how each item type works on its own — this page covers how they're organized together.

Folders and notebooks

A folder groups documents, notes, and recordings together — create one from your Library with + New > Folder. Folders keep things flat: a folder can't hold another folder, so you get one clean level of grouping instead of a deep, hard-to- navigate tree.

A notebook is a different kind of grouping, built specifically for journaling — it holds journal entries instead of loose files. See Notebooks & Journal for how writing, dates, streaks, and export work inside one. You can create and keep as many folders and notebooks as you like, and move items between folders (or in and out of the vault root) at any time.

Browsing: tree view and filtered view

By default, your Library shows a tree — every folder and notebook you've created, with the items inside them, so you can see your whole structure at a glance and expand or collapse any folder.

Click a type filter (Documents, Notes, Video & Audio, Folders, and so on) or a tag, and the view switches to a flat, filtered list pulled from your entire Library rather than just the folder you're in — a filter looks at everything you own, not just what's nearby. Each row in a filtered list shows which folder or notebook it lives in, so you don't lose track of where an item is filed. A "Clear filters" control takes you back to the tree.

Tags

Beyond folders, you can tag individual items — and folders and notebooks themselves — with one or more labels, then filter your Library down to anything carrying a given tag regardless of which folder it's in. Tags are a second, cross-cutting way to organize things that doesn't require moving anything or committing to one folder. See Tags for creating, renaming, merging, and applying them.

Sharing and attaching to a switch

Share a whole folder or notebook at once — a single "Share" action generates one link covering everything inside it, instead of sharing each item one by one. That link keeps working as you add or remove items from the folder, so a recipient always sees its current contents.

You can also attach a whole folder or notebook to a deadman switch, the same way you'd attach an individual document or note — everything inside is delivered together when the switch fires. A folder or notebook attached to a switch can't be deleted until it's removed from that switch first, the same protection an individual item gets. See Deadman Switches for how attaching items works, and What You'll Receive for what a beneficiary sees when a shared folder or notebook reaches them.
