Working with folders

Folders let you group bookmarks (and other folders) into a hierarchy. They appear in the grid alongside bookmarks as folder-shaped buttons, easy to tell apart at a glance — and you can customize how each one looks.

Create a folder

Click New folder in the left sidebar.
Give it a name, and optionally customize its look (see below).
Save. Like bookmarks, new folders are created in the folder you currently have open.

Open a folder

Click it. The grid switches to showing the folder’s contents, and the breadcrumb trail above the grid tracks where you are. See Navigation.

Customize a folder’s look

Both the New folder and Edit folder dialogs offer the same options, with a live preview at the top that updates as you change them:

Stroke color — recolors the outline of the folder shape. Tick Custom and pick a color.
Fill color — recolors the folder’s body (the button’s background) the same way.
Icon — an image of your choice displayed inside the folder shape. Paste an image URL or upload a file; see Folder buttons for details.
Show title — untick to hide the folder’s name from the button.

Color-coding folders (say, amber for work, blue for personal) is a quick way to make a large grid scannable without reading a single label.

Edit a folder

Right-click the folder and choose Edit to rename it or change any of the appearance options above.

Delete a folder

Right-click the folder and choose Delete. Because a folder may contain other items, you’re asked what to do with its contents:

Delete everything — the folder and all bookmarks and subfolders inside it are removed.
Keep the contents — only the folder itself is removed; everything inside is moved up into the folder that contained it.

Nesting and moving

Folders can be nested to any depth. Drag a folder onto another folder to move it inside — the only restriction is that you can’t move a folder into itself or one of its own subfolders. See Drag and drop.
