Working on a larger project? Then folders are for you! Folders can contain documents and subfolders, so you can keep your setup in Ellipsus nice and tidy.
Create a folder
To create a new folder, head to your dashboard and tap or click New folder, then give your folder a name. You can create documents or new subfolders directly in your folder.
To move from a subfolder to its parent folder, or a parent folder back to your dashboard, click the back arrow next to the folder name.
Move a document or folder
To move a document or folder, click its three-dot menu and select Move. You can select or search for an existing folder, or create a new one.
By default, folders created using the move menu will be named Untitled. After creating a folder, you can rename it by clicking on the three-dot menu and selected Edit details.
Collaborate with others
Folders—and their contents—are only visible to you. Folders can’t be shared with collaborators, but we plan to introduce folder-sharing in the future.
To collaborate with another user, you’ll need to invite them to your document—here’s how.
Tips for folders
There are lots of ways to use folders. For instance:
Use folders to separate any research, outlines, and world-building documents from your main text.
Use folders to maintain reusable documents and templates, like character building and world-building sheets.
Use folders to separate your documents based on workflow; e.g., Drafting, Beta reading, Published.
Use folders to break your documents up into separate chapters or sections, ensuring docs always load right away, not matter the device you’re using.
Use folders to archive older documents / works / ideas to keep your dashboard clean.
