Folders

Grouping notes into folders, moving them, renaming, and deleting.

Folders are a simple way to group notes. They do not replace wikilinks — they work alongside them: a folder answers "where does this live", a wikilink answers "what is this related to".

Creating a folder#

Click Folder in the sidebar and type a name.

Moving a note into a folder#

Hover over a note and a move button appears on the right. Click it and choose a folder. You can also create a new folder from that menu.

To take a note out of a folder, choose No folder.

Expanding and collapsing#

Click a folder name to show or hide the notes inside. The state is remembered, so closing and reopening the browser keeps your layout.

Managing a folder#

The three-dot button on a folder gives you:

  • Rename
  • Share — publish the whole folder by link. See sharing folders and maps.
  • Delete — removes the folder, but not the notes inside it. They simply become unfiled.

The breadcrumb#

Above the list in the sidebar, your current location is shown: Main → folder name → note. Click any part to go back up.
