Organize with Folders

Keep your projects tidy as your library grows.

Folders are lightweight containers for grouping related projects. Use them however works for you — by client, by address, by phase (concept vs. final), by team member.

The dashboard at a glance

The dashboard (/p) has two sections:

  • FOLDERS — all your folders plus a + New Folder tile
  • NO FOLDER — every project that hasn't been filed yet

Empty folders section with + New Folder tile

Projects start in NO FOLDER by default. You move them into folders explicitly — nothing is auto-filed.

Create a folder

Two ways:

  1. Click the + New Folder tile in the FOLDERS section, give it a name, confirm
  2. While moving a project (see below), pick New Folder… from the folder submenu — creates the folder and moves the project into it in one step

Folders appear as tiles in the FOLDERS section:

Move a project into a folder

Open the project's context menu (right-click the project tile, or click the button on the tile):

Menu options:

  • Rename
  • Add to favourites
  • Move to folder → submenu with No folder, New Folder…, and every existing folder
  • Share
  • Delete (permanent — no recycle bin)

Pick a destination folder from the submenu. The project moves immediately.

Move many projects at once

Enter multi-select mode by clicking the select checkbox on any project tile. Selected projects show a checkmark:

Keep clicking tiles to add them to the selection:

Multiple projects selected with bottom action bar

A bottom action bar appears showing N selected with two actions:

  • Move to folder — opens the same folder submenu as the single-project context menu
  • Delete — permanently deletes all selected projects

Remove a project from a folder

Use the same Move to folder flow and pick No folder. The project returns to the NO FOLDER section.

Inside a folder

Click a folder tile to open it. You see only the projects in that folder, with an < All Projects breadcrumb to go back and a + New in [folder name] button to create a project directly inside it:

Rename a folder

Open the folder's context menu (right-click the tile, or click ) and choose Rename.

Deleting projects and folders

Projects: open the project name dropdown at the top-left of the editor → Delete project, or use the context-menu Delete on the dashboard. This is permanent — no recycle bin.

Folders: folder deletion isn't self-serve yet. To remove a folder, move the projects inside it to "No folder" first, then contact support to remove the empty folder.

Tips

  • Start flat. Most users don't need folders until they have 10+ projects. Don't build an elaborate folder structure on day one
  • One folder per client works well for freelance architects
  • One folder per building phase (concept / schematic / DD / CD) works well for larger firms
