How to use Folders

Folders are a handy way to group related pages, so you can have a source of truth for a project, a customer, a process and so on.

You can share folders with teammates, even if they don't have eesel, and set up rules so pages automatically ✨ get added to and things are always up to date.

1. Create folders ➕

Create a new folder by clicking + and selecting "New folder", or by typing the /eesel folder new command in your eesel.

From there you can set your name and favicon for the folder, and also choose which Workspace it’s in.

2. Add pages to folders automatically ✨

You can set up rules so pages automatically get added to a folder. To set that up, open a Folder, head to “Add pages” and then head to “Automatically”.

Here's a simple rule I can configure so that pages I open with “Feature X” in the title get added to the “Feature X” folder.

A blue banner pops up when pages automatically get added, and you can always undo that.

3. Add pages to folders manually 📄

You can add pages by opening a Folder and heading to “Add pages". From there, you can add pages tracked in eesel using the “From eesel” tab.

There’s also the “From a link” tab to add any link.

You can also drop pages manually by dragging and dropping them into a Folder.

You can also highlight a page by clicking “Show page details”, click “Send to” and choose Folders to add it to.

4. Share folders 🔗

Whether your teammates have eesel or not, you can share folders with them to build a source of truth. Whenever a page gets added to a folder, it'll pop up for Folder members in their new tab, or by email if they don’t have eesel.

Get started by heading to a Folder and clicking on “Share”.

You can configure permissions to "Viewer" or "Member". "Viewer" means they can view the folder, and "Member" means they also add or remove pages and members of the folder.
