Workspace
Organizing Notes
Use folders, tags, bookmarks, and properties together while keeping the workspace readable as files.
On this page
Organization in Cortex is meant to be layered. A folder can hold the broad shape, tags can connect ideas, bookmarks can keep active notes close, and properties can record lightweight state.
Folders
Folders are the structure that survives everywhere. Use them for areas, projects, archives, and anything that benefits from being visible in the file system.
Tags
Tags are lightweight relationships. They are useful when a note belongs to more than one context, or when a future search should collect notes across folders.

Bookmarks should be temporary and practical. They are for notes you need to reach often while a project is active, not a second permanent taxonomy.
Properties
Properties make repeated note shapes easier to scan. Keep them simple enough that the raw file still communicates the same thing.
