How do I organize files into folders?

Folders keep your files grouped by book or project. A file can be in one folder, or left Unfiled.

Create a folder

1. Go to Storage and click New Folder.
2. Enter a Folder name.
3. If you use pen names, you can also choose a Pen name for the folder.
4. Click Create Folder.

Move a file to a folder

1. Find the file in the list.
2. Click the Move to folder icon on its row.
3. Choose a folder, or Unfiled to take it out of its folder.

Rename a folder

1. Hover over the folder's card in Folders.
2. Click the pencil icon (Rename folder).
3. Type the new name and press Enter. Press Escape to cancel.

Every file in the folder moves to the new name with it.

Delete a folder

1. Hover over the folder's card and click the trash icon (Delete folder).
2. If the folder is empty, confirm to delete it.
3. If it has files in it, choose:
   • Keep Files to remove the folder and move its files to Unfiled, or
   • Delete Files Too to remove the folder and its files.

Right after deleting, you can undo it from the message at the bottom of the screen.

File a folder under a pen name

If you write under more than one pen name, you can give each folder a pen name. Files in that folder then show up when you filter Storage (and other tools) by that pen name.

1. Hover over the folder's card and click the feather icon (Set pen name).
2. Choose the pen name, or No pen name.
3. Click Save.

A file that isn't in a folder with a pen name takes the pen name of the book it's linked to in Book Library, if any.

Folders in Book Library

Book Library uses the same folders. In a book's Details tab, the Folder field lets you choose one of your Storage folders, or create a new one with + New Folder….
