Organizing Your Content with Folders and Tags
Last updated August 30, 2024
As your Slab workspace grows, keeping your content organized becomes crucial. This guide will walk you through using Folders and Tags to structure your knowledge base effectively.
Organizing with Folders
1. **Create Folders:** Navigate to the "Notes" tab and click "+ New Folder" to create a new folder.
2. **Name Your Folder:** Give your folder a descriptive name that clearly indicates its purpose or the type of content it will house. For example, "Project Documents," "Marketing Materials," or "Engineering Documentation."
3. **Move Content to Folders:** You can move notes, wikis, or documents from your workspace to a specific folder. Click on the three dots next to the content you wish to move, select "Move," and choose the appropriate folder.
4. **Create Subfolders:** Within a folder, you can create subfolders to further organize content. This helps to create a hierarchy of information, making it easier to find what you need.
Using Tags
1. **Add Tags:** Open the note, wiki, or documentation you want to tag, and click on the "Tags" section at the bottom of the editor.
2. **Create or Select Existing Tags:** Start typing to create a new tag or select from a list of existing tags. Choose tags that are relevant to the content and will help you easily find it later.
3. **Multiple Tags:** You can add multiple tags to a single piece of content to categorize it in different ways. For example, you might add both "Marketing" and "Campaign" tags to a note about a specific marketing campaign.
Finding Content with Folders and Tags
1. **Filter by Folder:** From the "Notes" tab, click on the "Folders" menu and select the folder you want to view. This will display all the content within that folder.
2. **Filter by Tags:** Use the "Tags" menu at the top of the "Notes" tab to search for all content tagged with a specific keyword.
3. **Combined Filtering:** You can combine filters from both folders and tags to narrow down your search. This helps you target specific pieces of information quickly.
