# Organize saved Figma files with folders, tags and search

> Create folders, drag files into them, add tags, descriptions and notes, then find anything with search or the tag filter.

## Goal

Keep a growing list of Figma files tidy, for example one folder per client or per template set.

## Before you start

- Files saved in FileOpener.

## Steps

1. **Create a folder** Click New. A folder called New Folder with a number appears in the folder you are viewing. Double-click its name to rename it; Enter saves, Escape cancels.
2. **Move files by drag and drop** Drag a file onto a folder to move it there, or onto Home or a parent folder in the breadcrumb to move it up. Drag a folder onto another folder to nest it.
3. **Edit the details** Open a file's ⋯ menu (or right-click it) and choose General Details to change its Title, Figma URL and Description, or Edit Notes for internal notes.

4. **Add tags** Choose Manage Tags, type a tag and press Enter or a comma. Tags are saved in lower case. Click Save Tags.

5. **Search** Type in Search files and folders... to search the whole library by name, description and tags. Click a folder in the results to open it.
6. **Filter by tags** Click the Filter by tags button and pick one or more tags. Only items that have all the chosen tags stay visible; Clear filters shows everything again.

## Tips

- While you drag, a bar with Delete and New Folder appears. Dropping a file on New Folder creates a folder for it.
- Dropping on Delete removes the file, or the folder with everything in it, at once and without undo. Export a backup first if you are tidying up a lot.
- Switch between List view, Compact grid and Large grid in the toolbar.

## Result

A library you can browse by folder and narrow down by search or tags.

## If something goes wrong

- **A folder disappears when I filter by a tag.** -> The filter looks at the folder's own tags, not at the files inside it. Tag the folder too, or search for the tag instead.
- **Search does not find words from my notes.** -> Search covers names, descriptions and tags. Put words you want to find in the description.

## Common questions

### Why are my tags in lower case?

FileOpener treats tags as case-insensitive and stores them in lower case, so Client and client are the same tag.

### Where do I see a file's notes?

In its ⋯ menu > Edit Notes. Notes are not shown in the list.
