Folders

Folders let you organize your canvases into logical groups — by project, team, topic, or whatever structure fits your workflow.

Organizing canvases

Group related canvases together. Common patterns include:

• By project: All specs, meeting notes, and decisions for a specific project
• By team: Engineering docs, design reviews, marketing plans
• By topic: Onboarding materials, runbooks, client documentation
• By time: Weekly standups, quarterly reviews, sprint retrospectives

Drag and drop canvases between folders, or ask Stilla to move them for you.

Folder hierarchy

Folders can be nested inside other folders for deeper organization. For example:

• Engineering
  • Backend
  • Frontend
  • Infrastructure
• Marketing
  • Campaigns
  • Analytics

Folders can be nested up to 3 levels deep.

Permissions

Control visibility at the folder level:

• Private: Only you can see the folder and its contents
• Shared with individuals: Invite specific team members with view or edit access
• Organization-wide: Make the folder visible to everyone in your workspace

Folder permissions cascade to all canvases within, and nested folders inherit permissions from their parent. This is useful for team-specific documentation, sensitive projects, or client-facing content.

Sharing

Share entire folders with team members or your organization, giving everyone access to all canvases within. When new canvases are added to a shared folder, they automatically inherit the folder's permissions.

Resources

Attach external links and files to folders for easy reference. This keeps related URLs, documents, files, and tools alongside your canvases without cluttering individual documents.
