What are Folders?
Folders provide a collaborative space to organize and plan your daily life!
Folders can be leveraged in a variety of ways depending on your needs whether it be weekly chores, meal planning or even planning a vacation!
Finding and viewing your Folders:
When you open Maple you'll instantly see all the Folders you are collaborating in.
You can create a new Folder from scratch, or you can leverage one of our pre-made templates. You can always find your folders by tapping the looking glass icon.
Organizing your Folders:
You can organize how your folders are displayed by simply "Pressing + Holding" on any folder to reveal the menu. Then selecting "rearrange folders".
From here you can "press + hold" and drag folders around to your desired order. Remember to hit SAVE when done!
Creating a Folder of your own:
Start a Blank Folder:
Enter a name and select an emoji that best represents the Folder you are creating.
Be sure to choose a color for that Folder. All To-dos, Events, Notes and any other tools you decide to leverage related to this Folder will show up in the color you have chosen here making it super easy to track and manage!
Invite people to collaborate with:
Folders are designed to be collaborative working surfaces between members of your household or really anyone - friends, extended family members, co-workers etc.
You can either select people in your existing Maple Account or simply add someone's email address to invite them to Plan.
Note: The only people who will see this plan are those who are directly invited to it. Invited folks will not have access or visibility to anything else in your Maple account.

Leveraging Tools within Folders:
Folders offer a wind array of tools for you to leverage, providing you with a ton of flexibility!

Archiving A folder:
Archiving allows you to keep your workspace clean by tucking away folders that are no longer needed at a specific time, but might be helpful to revisit in the future. Think folders around specific holidays, or events that happen at a specific times of the year.
Once archived, the folder will show up in the "Archive" section at the bottom of the "Finder" screen. Simply tap "Unarchive" and the folder, along with all its contents, will return to the main folders section for you to leverage again.
Leave, delete or rename a Folder:
Select the plan you would like to leave, delete, or rename and tap the three little dots (as seen below).
Important to note: Folders are the core working surfaces within Maple but not every Folder requires each everyone's attention. Members will only see the Folders they are invited to be part of. Furthermore, members will not see any To-dos or Events that are created from Folders they are not part of either.

About privacy:
At Maple, we put family before anything else. Maple is a family-first company and that applies to privacy and data. All data is safely stored and never used or sold to 3rd parties. When a folder is deleted, all the data associated to the folder is deleted as well.
