Organize a large workspace
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- Open a project that has enough files/folders to reorganize.
- Ensure your role allows create/rename/move operations.
- Audit the current structure in File workspace.
- Create top-level folders for stable domains (for example docs, notebooks, data, assets).
- Use file-tree context actions to rename, move, duplicate, or delete files/folders.
- Apply consistent naming and folder rules across the project.
- Reopen core files and confirm they still load correctly.
- Use search/outline/navigation panels to verify discoverability after reorganization.
- Keep project state/backing behavior in mind when reorganizing private folder-backed vs private browser-backed projects.
Verification
Section titled “Verification”- The file tree shows the new structure and naming.
- Moved/renamed files open without missing-path errors.
- Navigation and search are more predictable for recurring tasks.
If Something Goes Wrong
Section titled “If Something Goes Wrong”- Files seem missing after moves
- Search by filename and verify destination paths in File workspace.
- Links/references break after renames
- Update path-based references and revalidate compile/preview flows where applicable.
- Organization differs across collaborators
- Ensure sync completed before teammates continue edits on moved files.
- Bulk changes are risky
- Reorganize in smaller batches so you can quickly isolate path regressions.
