Folders & Templates

Folders Overview

Folders let you group related maps together on the dashboard. They work like directories on your computer — you can nest sub-folders inside folders for deeper organization.

Folders are available at three levels:

• Personal folders — organize maps in your personal workspace.
• Organization folders — organize maps in an org's dashboard, visible to all org members.
• Team folders — organize maps within a team's dashboard, visible to team members.

Creating and Navigating Folders

Creating a folder:

1. Click the New Folder button in the dashboard toolbar.
2. Enter a folder name (up to 255 characters) and confirm.

You can create sub-folders inside any folder. There is no hard limit on nesting depth.

Navigating folders:

Click a folder card to view its contents. A breadcrumb trail appears at the top (e.g., All Maps / Design) — click All Maps to return to the root.

Each folder card shows a summary of its contents (e.g., "3 maps · 1 subfolder").

Renaming and deleting folders:

Click the ··· menu on a folder card to Rename or Delete it.

Organizing Maps into Folders

There are two ways to move a map into a folder:

• Drag and drop — drag a map card directly onto a folder card.
• Actions menu — click the ··· button on a map card and select Move to folder, then choose the target folder.

To move a map back out of a folder, open the ··· menu and select Move to dashboard.

Folder Permissions

Who can create and manage folders depends on the workspace:

Built-in Templates

StitchGraph includes three built-in templates to help you start quickly. Access them by clicking the Templates button on the dashboard.

• Brainstorm — explore ideas with branches for problems, audience, ideas, constraints, wild bets, and next steps.
• Project Plan — organize goals, scope, milestones, workstreams, risks, team, and timeline.
• Meeting Notes — capture agenda, discussion, decisions, action items, parking lot, and follow-up.

Clicking a template creates a new map pre-populated with that template's structure.

Custom Templates

You can save any map as a custom template to reuse its structure for future maps.

Saving a custom template:

1. Open the map you want to use as a template.
2. Click Save as Template from the toolbar menu, the map card ··· menu on the dashboard, or the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K).
3. Enter a name (required, up to 200 characters) and an optional description (up to 500 characters), then confirm.

Using a custom template:

Click the Templates button on the dashboard. Your saved templates appear in the My Templates section of the dropdown, below the built-in templates. Clicking one creates a new map from that template.
