Vaults, folders and pages

VaultsCopy Anchor Link

A vault is a whole notebook, separate from the others: its own pages, search, map and calendar. Use it to separate worlds that don't mix, like work and personal life.

• Switch vaults from the top of the sidebar.
• Each vault syncs to its own folder inside the Paper folder of your Google Drive.
• Every notebook starts with the main vault.

FoldersCopy Anchor Link

Folders hold pages and other folders. A folder has no text: when you open it, it shows what's inside, with buttons to create a page, create a folder and import .md files right there.

• Create: folder button at the top of the sidebar, or New folder inside another folder. A new folder opens with its name selected, so you can just type over it.
• Move: drag in the sidebar, or use Move in the page menu.
• In Google Drive: each Paper folder becomes a real folder, with the page files inside.

Pages inside pagesCopy Anchor Link

A page can also have pages inside it, like chapters. The difference from a folder is that the parent page has its own text.

Favorites, Inbox and JournalCopy Anchor Link

• Favorites stay at the top of the sidebar. Use the star at the top of the page.
• Inbox receives what you jot down quickly with Ctrl Shift Space.
• Today opens the page for the day, inside the Journal folder.
