Organize your content with folders

Group decks, tables, texts, notebooks and PDFs into nested folders, then study every deck in a folder in one session.

By YalangoUpdated September 30, 2026

My Library holds your decks, tables, notebooks, texts and PDFs for the active language. Folders keep that collection tidy once it grows past a handful of items.

Folders can be nested as deep as you like - for example one folder per textbook, with a subfolder for each chapter.

What you can do

  • Create a folder from the Create menu, then create new content directly inside it.
  • Pin to Top / Unpin your most active items so they stay at the top of a folder. You can pin up to 3 items per folder - when the limit is reached the menu shows Pin to Top (3 already pinned).
  • Move any item between folders, rename it, or delete it from its context menu.
  • Sort by Default, newest, oldest, name, or item count, and switch between grid and list view. Default keeps your manual / pin order.
  • Search within the current folder to find a specific item.

Studying a whole folder

Folders aren't only for organisation. You can start a folder study session that pulls cards from every deck inside that folder - including decks in its subfolders - and mixes them into one game.

This is the natural way to review a full chapter or unit. Make a folder per chapter, drop the chapter's vocabulary and grammar decks in it, and you have a ready-made revision session for each one.

A structure that works

If you're not sure how to start, this holds up well:

  • One folder per source - one for your class, one for a textbook, one for films.
  • Inside each, one folder per chapter, episode or week.
  • Keep decks small. Several decks of 20 words are easier to study and reuse than one deck of 400.

Because spaced repetition works across your whole vocabulary rather than per deck, splitting words into many small decks costs you nothing at review time.
