Creating and working with folders

Creating and working with folders


Folders on Digital Paper help you organize and manage your documents efficiently, similar to folders on a computer. They allow you to group Notebooks, Quick Notes, PDFs, and eBooks, keeping your files tidy and easy to access.

Creating a new folder

  1. Tap Folders or the folder icon on the home screen.
  2. A dialog will appear asking you to name your folder. You can use either the Digital Pen or the keyboard to input the name.
  3. Tape CREATE to finalize. 

By default, the first folder is named Folder 1. To change it, delete the default text by tapping the x next to the line, or continue with the pre-selected name. You can always rename your folder later.


Your new folder will now appear on the home screen. Initially, it will show Empty below its name, as files must be added manually.

Once inside a folder, navigation works similarly to the home screen:

  • Sort and filter: Organize files by date, type, or custom order.
  • Grid/list view: Toggle between grid and list display for easier browsing.
  • Create new files: You can create new Notebooks, Quick Notes, or additional Folders directly within a folder.
  • Search: Use the search option to quickly locate files inside a folder.

To return to the home screen, tap ← Home in the top-left corner or press the top of your Digital Pen once.

Tip: Regularly using folders can help maintain a clutter-free home screen and make finding your files much faster.
