Folders are used to organize cards related to a specific topic. Folders can be studied independently, allowing you to focus your study sessions.
Create and Organize Folders
In the sidebar, add new folders using the + Add Folder button at the bottom toolbar.
Folders can be nested inside other folders to create a hierarchy.

The Unsorted section
Folders are optional - Cards that are not assigned to a folder can be found in the Unsorted section and can be studied like in any other folder. This special Unsorted section is great for any cards that don’t fit neatly into any category but you'd still like to learn them.
The unsorted section has a special Move all to Folder feature that allows you to quickly move all Unsorted cards into a new or existing folder.
