Organize your notes in coloured folders

Make a folder

Press the new folder button next to Folders in the sidebar, or New folder on the Folders page, and give it a name. The sidebar lists your first five folders. The Folders page has all of them as folder cards, each showing how many notes it holds and its newest notes through the cover. You can search them, sort them by name, last update, most pages or newest, and switch to a list.

A colour for each folder

Every new folder gets a colour. To pick another, open the folder’s menu and choose Change color. The 25 colours are the page colours of the note themes, and the folder shows its colour in the sidebar, on note cards and on Home.

Drafts

A new note starts in Drafts, unless you create it on a folder’s page, where it starts in that folder. Each note card shows its folder, or Draft if it isn’t filed yet, and the sidebar shows how many notes are in Drafts.

Move notes into a folder

• Choose Move to folder from a note’s menu, then pick a folder or type to find one.
• Drag a note from Home or a list onto a folder in the sidebar. Drop it on Drafts to take it out of its folder.
• Select several notes and move them together.
• In a note, the Location menu in the Info panel sets its folder.

After a move from a menu or by dragging, the message at the bottom of the screen has Undo.

A folder’s page

Open a folder to see its notes as cards, compact cards or a list. Sort them by last edit, creation date or title, or choose Manual order and drag them into your own order. New note on a folder’s page starts the note in that folder.

Recent folders on Home

Home lists your folders by their latest edit. Each one is drawn as a folder with its newest notes showing through the cover, the number of notes inside and when it last changed.

Ask Foli about a folder

Choose Ask Foli about this folder from the folder’s menu and the answer comes from that folder’s notes only. It’s there on plans with AI while Foli is on. See Foli.

Rename, link and delete

The folder’s menu also renames it, copies a link to it and deletes it. Deleting a folder keeps its notes: they move to Drafts. In a team workspace, owners and admins can invite people from the same menu.
