Folders and Sub-folders to Organize Work within Projects
planned

Dee Kobina
While exploring the "Projects" feature and loving it very much, I see a need for being able to organize and or segment ongoing work within a specific Project. This would be invaluable.
For instance, if one were working on several Brand Accounts, yes, you will set them as different Projects. However, each Project could include diverse content types even though they all share common Project resources.
It would be invaluable to be able to go to dedicated folders and readily find all generated social media campaign content separate from, say, traditional media campaigns content, or even blog posts, etc. within a specific brand account.
Currently, you have to scroll through an ever lengthening stream of generated pieces to locate specific content-of-interest.

Hi Dee Kobina, may be a little unrelated, but we've released Folders for Chat. You can see the change in your History tab on getmerlin.in/chat. Read more here: https://merlin-ai.canny.io/changelog/organise-chats-in-history-introducing-folders-renaming-and-pinning-chats
We're contemplating folder use on Projects, and how to implement it from a UI point of view. Coming soon :)

Merlin thanks folks for the updates. That we can pin high priority chats is fantastic. I love that chats can be moved between folders. And thanks for adding that resourceful FAQ
I was pondering your "dilemma" about "how to implement the folders from a UI point of view" and I thought I would share my imaginings :)
I see Canny allows users to collapse chat-trails and I am wondering if something similar could work for organizing Merlin's project chat-trails and eventually adding them to folders.
I currently have some very long chat-trails and if I could collapse them and then send or add them to folders, it will eliminate the current need for long "scrolls" (please see the screenshots/illustrations).
The ability to also nest folders (sub-folders) would be awesome. For instance, my social media (SM) "Projects" could have dedicated subfolders for each SM platform and even in those folders have subs for campaigns, promos & offers, Q&A pieces, video scripts, etc..

endu this is exciting news! 👏🏾👏🏿
I can't believe that this suggestion is already planned.
Guess what, I am imagining a folder treelike/outliner type of files and folders organization, right? That would be super cool. Outliners make navigating and finding files within dense documents/work, super easy!
I can understand if I am sounding like I am pushing my luck...😅 But, I promise I am not wishing for anything fancy, just letting my imagination run. That's all, 😅👍🏾

Got it, Dee Kobina , Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We hear you and will work on making Projects more robust in the upcoming iterations. 😊
