Folder

Folders are your bookshelf, used to archive and organize completed content.

Imagine you're organizing a study room

  • Topic = Work desk - Projects in progress, materials spread on the desk, discuss with assistant (AI) anytime
  • Folder = Bookshelf - Books organized by category, take them out when needed
  • Collection = Smart search - "Find all books about AI", automatically gathered from everywhere

Folder Features

  • Manual management - You decide what goes in.
  • Hierarchical structure - Can be nested to build multi-level directories.
  • Fixed content - Won't change automatically.
