# Sheets

Like the Notes app, Soulver organizes your sheets for you – there's no need to keep track of files yourself in Finder or Files.

There's also no need to manually save, as Soulver automatically saves changes for you.

#### Making new sheets

Click "New Sheet" in the sidebar or press ⌘N.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can have new sheets open in a new window by setting the preference for ⌘N behaviour in the **General** settings
{% endhint %}

#### Making new folders

By default, new sheets are saved in the **General** folder, but you can make your own folders too.

Hover over the `General` folder and click the little `+`. A new folder starts with a blank sheet by default.

#### Renaming folders

Double click a folder in the sidebar and type your preferred name. Folders are sorted alphabetically.

#### Moving sheets into folders

Drag and drop sheets from the list into the folder, or use the Sheet menu (**Move Sheet To…**) or the contextual menu on a sheet in the sidebar.

#### Deleting sheets & folders

Hover over a sheet or folder in the sidebar and click the little red cross, or click a sheet and press the delete key. To delete the current sheet while editing it, press control-⌘-delete.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleted sheets are moved into the **Trash**.

To empty the trash, hover over it and choose **`Empty Trash`**

When you delete a sheet from the Trash, or empty the Trash it will be permanently deleted. You may be able to recover it from a backup (File > Backups).

## Sheet Tips

### Searching Sheets

You can search your sheets on Mac by going to the Edit menu > Find > Sheet List Search (or press Option-⌘-F) and typing your search query:

### **Sorting sheets**

You can choose to sort sheets by date modified, creation date or title (the first line of the sheet) in Soulver's **General** settings.

You can also optionally have new sheets start with a # heading, or a // comment

### Opening sheets in new windows
