Folders

Folders are the simplest way to organize Newsbin. A folder is just a container for feeds you’ve followed — “Tech,” “News,” “Sports,” whatever fits how you read.

Creating and filling folders

• Create a folder, give it a name, and drag feeds into it (or assign a feed to a folder when you add it).
• A feed lives in one folder at a time. If you want the same articles to appear in several places based on their content rather than their source, that’s what smart groups are for.
• Selecting a folder shows every unread article across the feeds inside it.

Folders vs. smart groups

They solve different problems:

	Folders	Smart Groups
Organized by	The source (which feed)	The content (tags, age, sources)
Membership	You place feeds manually	Articles match automatically
Best for	“Show me everything from my tech blogs”	“Show me anything mentioning climate from the last week”

Use folders for tidy browsing by source, and smart groups when you want articles to gather themselves by subject.

Tips

• Empty folders are cleaned up automatically to avoid duplicates cluttering your sidebar.
• Folder layout syncs across your devices through iCloud.
