Find and organize your documents: folders, tags, search and trash

Find a document

• Press ⌘ K and type part of the name. Choose Search all documents for “…” to see every match.
• On My documents, type in Filter by name or tag (or press /) to narrow the list as you type.
• Use the status tabs: Recent, Action required, Drafts, Waiting for others and Finalized.
• Open Filter & sort to show only Documents, Templates or Forms, sort by Last activity, Name, Date created or Pages, and switch between List, Grid and Thumbnails.

Use folders and tags

1. 1

   Step 1: Create a folder

   On My documents, click New folder (the plus next to Folders), type a Folder name and click Create folder.

2. 2

   Step 2: Move documents into it

   Open a document's ⋯ menu and choose Move to, or tick several documents and click Move to… in the selection bar.

3. 3

   Step 3: Add tags

   Choose Edit tags in a document's menu, or select several and click Add tags. Separate tags with commas. Click a tag under Tags to filter by it.

Deleting a folder keeps its documents; they move out to Not in a folder. Rename or delete a folder from its menu in the folder list.

Delete and restore

Choose Move to trash in a document's menu, or select several and use the same button; click Undo in the message if it was a mistake. Deleted documents stay in Trash (bottom of the sidebar, or G then T) for 30 days, where Restore puts them back. What Delete forever erases, and what's kept, is in Delete documents, and restore them from the trash.
