Folders & Artifact Organization

Folders let you group documents, workbooks, views, and other content inside a project. This guide covers creating folders, moving things into them, renaming, and deleting.

Ask the Agent

The quickest way to organize a project:

Create a folder called Reports and move the Q4 docs into it.

Obvious creates the folder, finds the matching artifacts, and moves them — all in one step. You can also ask things like:

Rename the Strategy folder to 2026 Strategy.

Delete the empty Drafts folder.

The agent handles nesting too. "Create a folder called Financials inside Reports" works exactly the way you'd expect.

Create a Folder

1. Open the project sidebar on the left.
2. Click the + button at the top of the sidebar and select New Folder.
3. Type a name for the folder and press Enter.

The folder appears in the sidebar. To create a folder inside another folder, right-click the parent folder and select New Folder.

Move Content into a Folder

1. In the sidebar, drag any artifact onto a folder to move it in.

That's it. You can also move multiple items at once — hold Shift or Cmd (Mac) / Ctrl (Windows) to select several artifacts, then drag them into the folder.

To move something back to the top level, drag it out of the folder and drop it in the empty area of the sidebar.

Rename a Folder

Right-click the folder in the sidebar and select Rename. Type the new name and press Enter.

Delete a Folder

Right-click the folder and select Delete.

Warning: Deleting a folder that still has content inside it removes the folder and everything in it. Move anything you want to keep before deleting.

Empty folders delete immediately with no confirmation.

Tips

• Folders can nest inside other folders — there's no depth limit.
• Moving an artifact into a folder doesn't change the artifact itself. Your data, formatting, and sharing links stay the same.
• Folders are project-level. Each project has its own folder structure.
