# Organize notes in folders and find them again > Group notes in folders with colors, mark favorites, search titles and text, follow #tags and links, and keep several notes open in tabs. Source: https://priortasks.com/docs/notes/organize-notes/ Last updated: 2026-11-05 Your personal notes live in the **Library**, a tree of folders and notes. This page covers the library on a computer or tablet. On a phone it works the same way, with the list and the note taking turns. ## Create folders 1. Choose the **+** next to **Library** (**New folder**). Or right-click an empty part of the library and choose **New folder here**. 2. Type a **Name** and, if you like, pick a **Color**: Clay, Amber, Honey, Sage, Ocean, Plum, Rose or Stone. 3. Choose **Create folder**. Right-click a folder for **New note here**, **New subfolder here**, **Move folder to…**, **Rename**, **Set color** and **Delete folder**. Folders can hold other folders. Deleting a folder does not delete what is inside: its notes and subfolders move up one level. Your areas and projects also appear in the library: a folder for each area, and a folder for each project (inside its area's folder when it has one). Their names follow the area or project, and from Notes you can only add a note to them. ## Move, favorite and delete notes - **Move**: right-click a note and choose **Move to…**, or open **More actions** in the note's toolbar. Pick a folder, or **Library** for the top level. Notes cannot be dragged between folders. A note moved into the folder of a project also joins that project's **Notes** tab; moved elsewhere, it stays linked to its project. - **Favorites**: choose the star in the toolbar (**Add to favorites**). The **Favorites** filter above the tree shows only those notes. **All** shows everything. - **Delete**: right-click a note and choose **Delete note**, or use **More actions**. Prior asks you to confirm, and the note goes to the trash. **Trash**, at the bottom of the library, lists your deleted notes: **Restore** brings one back where it was. ## Search Type in **Search notes** at the top of the library. Prior looks in titles and in the text, ignoring capitals, and hides folders with no match. Press / anywhere on the Notes page, outside a text field, to jump to the search box, and Esc to clear it. The command palette (Cmd+K or Ctrl+K) also opens a note by its title. ## Tags and links - Write `#tag` anywhere in a note. The tags of the note appear under its title. Click one to search the library for it. - Write `[[Note title]]` to link to another note. Click the link to open it. If no note has that title, Prior creates it. - In the inspector (**Toggle inspector**), **Backlinks** lists the notes that link to this one. **Local graph** draws the notes connected to it. The graph button (**Graph view**) at the top of the library opens a larger one, where you can click a note to open it. ## Keep several notes open Each note you open gets a tab above it. Close a tab with its **×** or a middle click, and open a new note with the **+** at the end of the tab bar. **Collapse library** hides the tree to give the note more room. Your open tabs, your folded folders and the state of the library are remembered and follow you to your other devices. ## Good to know - Folders and the library are for personal notes. The notes of a shared project are in its **Notes** tab: see [Keep notes inside a project](https://priortasks.com/docs/notes/project-notes/). - Your notes, with their folders, are part of [your data export](https://priortasks.com/docs/account/export-your-data/).
