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
Group related sources into folders for easier navigation.
Create a Folder
- Click the folder icon in the Sources panel header
- Give it a name
- Choose a color (optional)
- Click Create
Folders appear at the top of your sources list. Sources without a folder appear in an “Unfiled” section.
Move Sources to Folders
Drag and drop:
- Drag a source onto a folder to move it
- Drag to the “No folder” zone at the bottom to remove from a folder
From the menu:

Edit a Folder
Click the three-dot menu on any folder to:

Delete a Folder
When you delete a folder, you choose what happens to its sources:
| Option | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Keep sources | Sources move to the root level (unfiled) |

Deleting sources is permanent. Make sure you don’t need them before choosing “Delete all.”

Reprocess Sources

Reprocessing is useful if you’ve updated a URL source and want to pull the latest content.
