4. FAQ​

How do I know where my items currently are?​

Your current location is marked with a blue checkmark. This shows you where your items are right now.

Can I create folders at any level?​

Yes! You can create new folders anywhere in your structure. The new folder will be created at the level you're currently viewing.

What happens if I try to create a folder with a name that already exists?​

The app will ask if you want to create a new folder with an adjusted name (like adding a number). You can choose to do this or cancel and pick a different name.

Can I move multiple items at once?​

Absolutely! Select multiple items first, then choose "Move" to relocate them all to the same destination.

How do I cancel if I change my mind?​

Just tap the "X" button at the top right or tap outside the bottom sheet to cancel without moving anything.

Can I see what's inside folders before moving items there?​

Yes! Tap the arrow (>) next to any folder to expand it and see its subfolders.

What's the difference between "All Notes" and other folders?​

"All Notes" is your main container that holds everything. Other folders are organized spaces within it where you can sort your content.

Can I move folders into other folders?​

Yes! You can move entire folders (and everything inside them) to different locations in your folder structure.

Will I lose my items if something goes wrong during the move?​

No, your items are safely moved to the new location. If there's any issue, your content remains in its original location.
