Managing Document Folders

Learn how to create and organize document folders to keep your financial records structured.

What are Document Folders?

Document folders help you organize your financial documents by source or type. Each folder can have its own processing rules, making it easy to handle different document formats automatically.

Best Practice: Create one folder per bank account or credit card. This keeps your documents organized and allows you to configure specific processing rules for each source.

The Folder Dashboard

The Documents page displays all your folders in a grid layout. Each folder card shows:
