Notebook folders let you organize your notes by topic, strategy, or time period. This article covers how to create folders, apply colour tags, move notes between folders, and pin notes for quick access.

As your notes grow, folders keep them organized. You can group notes by strategy, session type, time period, or any structure that makes sense for how you work. Notes can be moved freely between folders at any time, and pinning gives you quick access to the ones you use most often.

Creating a folder

Open Notebook from the left navigation bar.
In the left panel, find the Folders section.
Click New folder or the folder creation button.
A folder creation panel opens where you can set:
- Folder name: Type a name for the folder
- Colour tag: Choose a colour from the available options
Confirm to create the folder. It appears in the Folders section of the left panel.

How folder colours work

The colour you assign to a folder applies to the folder icon and the folder label in the notes list. It does not apply to the notes inside the folder.

Important: Note content and individual notes do not inherit the folder colour. Colours are a visual label for the folder itself only. This keeps the notes list clean and prevents visual clutter when you have many notes inside a coloured folder.

Renaming a folder or changing its colour

Right-click the folder in the left panel, or click the options menu (three dots) next to the folder name.
Select Rename folder or Edit folder.
Update the name or colour as needed.
Confirm. The changes apply immediately.

Moving notes between folders

Notes can be moved freely between folders at any time. There are no restrictions on which notes can go where.

Right-click the note in the left panel notes list, or open the note and use the options menu (three dots).
Select Move to folder.
A folder picker appears. Select the destination folder.
The note moves immediately. No confirmation is required.

Pinning notes

Pinned notes appear in the Pinned Notes section at the top of the notes list, regardless of which folder they belong to. This is useful for notes you reference frequently, like your active playbook or a recurring checklist.

How to pin a note

Right-click the note in the left panel notes list, or open the note and use the options menu (three dots).
Select Pin note.
The note appears in the Pinned Notes section at the top of the left panel.
The note remains accessible from both its folder and the Pinned section.

How to unpin a note

Right-click the pinned note, or open the note and use the options menu.
Select Unpin note.
The note is removed from the Pinned section and returns to its folder or the recent notes list.

Tip: You can also pin templates. Pinned templates appear at the top of the Templates section so you can reach your most-used templates without scrolling. See How to Use Templates in Notebook for steps on pinning templates.

Frequently asked questions

Does moving a note to a folder change any of its content?

No. Moving a note only changes its organizational location. Title, emoji, content, and timestamps are not affected.

Can I put a note in more than one folder?

No. Each note belongs to one folder at a time. If you want a note accessible from multiple contexts, pin it instead. Pinned notes appear in the Pinned section regardless of which folder they are in.

Does folder colour affect notes inside the folder?

No. Colour is applied to the folder icon and label only. Notes inside the folder have no colour inherited from the folder.

Can I add emojis to folders?

No. Emojis are only available for individual notes, not folders. Folders support colour tags for visual organization.
