    Create a folder

    You can group related scans into distinct folders to quickly find what you need and stay organized. This article explains three different ways how to create folders in Scanner Pro and Scanner Mini.

    Use the "Create a folder" button

    1. Open Scanner and tap the Create a folder button.
    2. Enter a name for the folder.
    3. Tap Done.

    An empty folder will appear in the My Scans section. You can now move the needed scans into the folder or take new ones.

    You can quickly create a folder of items from the My Scans section.

    5. Tap the newly created folder, then the Move button at the bottom right.

    Drag one file over another

    You can drag one scan over another - a new folder with these scans inside will be created. 

    1. Touch and hold the needed scan until it lifts up.
    2. Drag it over another scan to create a folder.
    3. Enter a name for the folder, then tap Done.
