Folders versus Projects

A folder is where a file lives. Each file is in one folder. A project is what a file is for. (Your workspace can call projects something else, such as Initiatives or Campaigns.) Projects can nest, a file can belong to one, and each project has a description and goals. Those goals are read back to your assistant whenever it publishes into the project or lists what is in it, so a session next month knows what the project is for without you explaining it again. In the Projects module (see "Projects — tracking the work behind the documents"), starting a project sets up its description and goals automatically, so its cards and its purpose live together from day one.
