Better Document Organization

When you use the app for mainly mortaring like I do (and I’m sure many others do), it gets very easy for the notes to get cluttered. I would love to see nested folder support, possibly tags for types of documents and the ability to organize the order of the documents within a folder the way I want them instead of last opened.

We made a first pass at better document organisation in Flow version 2.6: https://moleskinestudio.com/new/en/flow/2.6/
You can order documents automatically by name, viewed at, updated at, or choose a custom sort order by dragging documents into the order you'd like them in.
You can also pinch to zoom out and view a lot more documents at once.
Please let us know your thoughts!

Alex Louden: It’s definitely better but still not quite where I was meaning. I’m looking for nested folders, like a folder within a folder (folder-caption, if you will). I have probably around about 100 folders by this point and would love to be able to clean that up a bit and drag folders into another folder. Doesn’t have to be infinite levels deep, just the main level > folder > folder > document would be great!

Daniel Funk: Ah thanks for elaborating! Would you mind creating that as a separate Canny post, so we can track it? I'll give it a vote too - that sounds useful! :)

Alex Louden: Nested folders was actually the original intent for this post, I did mention it in the description but I guess it got lost because everyone in the comments is talking about the tags 😅 I saw that someone already posted about this here as well: https://bonobo.canny.io/flow/p/folder-structure-for-collections

Yes!! I use Flow as my work notebook so sorting by date created to be able to go back to a specific date would be a life saver.

This is something we are working on at the moment and will share more details soon.

Ben Hamey: Any updates on this? It’s been 3 months since we last heard about this being in progress.

Ben Hamey: I’d love to see things in a folder where I could see more items. For example, it could be a list view of titles or just a view w/ smaller icons. It is helpful to visualize the whole content of a folder versus scrolling through many pages vertically to find what I need. The ordering would be best ‘fixed’ in place as well. It is very easy to get mixed up when things move to “most recently opened” order instead of being in a certain reliable location.

Tags to divide and access “sections” in Infinite Board (bookmarks?)

Adding a flag or tag to divide a section in the infinite board. One scenario: I’m working in multiple features of an app, I could identify easily each one if they were tagged and I’d had a way to click a button while exploring in the “infinite horizontal/vertical scrolls”. Instead of looking for a keyword manually I could just have the document divided in parts.
