Folder
In Dessix, a Folder is a manual container for categorizing and organizing content. It's the most traditional and intuitive way to organize content.
Core Features
Manual Management
You need to manually drag notes or other blocks into or out of folders. This explicit operation ensures that the organizational structure is completely under your control.
Hierarchical Structure
Supports nesting, allowing you to build a tree structure like a computer file system. You can create multi-level directories and categorize according to your own logic.
Static Organization
The contents of a folder are fixed unless you manually modify them. Unlike dynamic Topics or auto-aggregating Collections, folder contents don't change automatically.
Can Be Referenced
Folders can be referenced using @. When you @FolderName in a conversation or note, AI can access all content within that folder as context.
When to Use
When you want to organize notes using traditional, stable classification methods, folders are the best choice.
Typical scenarios:
- 📁 Create top-level categories like "Work", "Life", "Study"
- 📚 Create a folder for a course to store all related courseware notes
- 🗂️ Organize documents by project or client
- 📋 Create an archive area for completed content
