How do I organize captured posts into Folders?

PostSnag's Folders organize your captured posts into named collections, separate from which profile or group a post originally came from. Create as many as you need, and add any post to one or more of them.

Use folders for whatever grouping makes sense for your work: a specific client, a campaign, a content pillar you're researching, a swipe file of proven post formats. Folders are for building something over time. If you just want to save a single post or profile to come back to later, that's what Bookmarks are for. See How do I bookmark posts and profiles?

Creating a folder

There are two ways to start one:

• From anywhere in the dashboard: click the + next to the Folders label in the left navigation. A text field opens right there, so you can name it and confirm without leaving the page you're on.

• From the Folders page: open All folders in the left navigation, click New folder, type a name in the field that appears, then click Create (or Cancel to back out).

Adding posts to a folder

• Find any post card, on a profile's own page, Discovery, Bookmarks, Folders, Analytics, or a Group's Posts tab.

• Click the folder icon on the card.

• In the window that opens, pick an existing folder. Each one shows its current post count, or Already in if that post is already saved there.

• You can also create a new folder from inside this same window instead of picking an existing one.

A post can belong to more than one folder at the same time. Adding it to a second folder doesn't remove it from the first.

You don't have to add posts one at a time. On a profile's own Posts or Reels tab, multi-select several posts and use Add to folder from the action bar that slides up at the bottom to add them all in one go.

The Folders page and a folder's own page

The Folders page (All folders in the left navigation) shows a card for every folder you've made: a thumbnail pulled from its first post, or a plain folder icon if it's still empty, the folder's name, and its post count. The page subtitle keeps a running count of how many folders you have.

Click a folder to open its own page: a back link to All folders, the folder name as the page heading, a post-count subtitle, and the full grid of posts inside it. An empty folder shows "This folder is empty." with a nudge to add posts from the library.

If you have zero folders, the Folders page shows a Create your first folder button in place of the grid.

Common questions

How many folders can I create?

There's no folder-count limit in the current dashboard.

Can I add the same post to more than one folder?

Yes. A post can belong to multiple folders at once. The Add to folder window shows which ones it's already in, so you always know before you click.

Can I rename or delete a folder from the dashboard?

Not right now. There's no rename or delete option on a folder's card or its own page in the current dashboard. If you need a folder renamed or removed, contact PostSnag support.

Is a folder the same as a bookmark?

No. A bookmark is a one-click save on a single post or profile, with no name or grouping involved. A folder is a named collection you build yourself, meant to hold more than one post around a theme. See How do I bookmark posts and profiles?

Can I add several posts to a folder at once?

Yes, but only from a profile's own Posts or Reels tab. Multi-select the posts you want and use Add to folder in the action bar at the bottom. The global Posts page and a group's Posts tab don't offer bulk Add to folder yet; add posts to a folder one at a time from those views.
