Folders
Organize your documents, databases, PDFs, and other workspace items into a familiar folder hierarchy.
Keep Everything Organized
Folders in Wyatt work just like the folders on your computer. Use them to group related items together — documents, databases, PDFs, whiteboards, and more — so your workspace stays tidy as it grows.
Creating Folders
- From the sidebar — Click New Folder and give it a name.
- From a conversation — Ask the AI:
Create a folder called "Q1 Reports" and move my January, February, and March reports into it.
- Right-click — Right-click in the sidebar and select New Folder from the context menu.
Nesting Folders
Folders can contain other folders, letting you build a hierarchy that matches how you think about your work:
Marketing/
Campaigns/
Spring Launch/
Summer Sale/
Brand Assets/
Meeting Notes/
There is no limit to how deep you can nest. Drag a folder into another folder to move it, or create a new folder directly inside an existing one.
Keep your folder structure simple. Two or three levels deep is usually enough. If you find yourself nesting very deeply, consider using search or the command palette (Cmd+K) to jump directly to items instead.
Moving Items
You can move any workspace item into a folder:
- Drag and drop — drag an item from the sidebar into a folder
- Right-click — right-click an item and select Move to...
- AI conversation — ask the AI to organize items for you, like "Move all my onboarding documents into the HR folder"
Items can live in one folder at a time. Moving an item to a new folder removes it from the previous one.
Pinning
Pin important folders (or items inside them) so they always appear at the top of your sidebar. Pinning is personal — your pinned items won't affect what your teammates see.
To pin a folder, right-click it and select Pin to Sidebar. Pinned folders appear in a dedicated section at the top for quick access.
Permissions
Folders inherit your workspace's permission model:
| Role | Can View | Can Edit | Can Create |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admin | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Member | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Viewer | Yes | No | No |
All workspace members can see all folders by default. If you need to restrict access to specific content, contact your workspace admin about role-based permissions.
Folder Views
When you open a folder, you see all its contents in a clean list. From here you can:
- Sort by name, date created, or date modified
- Search within the folder using the search bar
- Create new items directly inside the folder (documents, databases, sub-folders, etc.)
