Organizing Sources

Keep your sources organized as your notebook grows.

As you add more sources, organization becomes important. Use folders to group related content, bulk actions to manage multiple sources at once, and the management tools to keep everything tidy.

Folders

Folders appear at the top of your sources list. Sources without a folder appear in an “Unfiled” section.
