Analyze the current topology
Folderbase reads names, types, repositories, generated trees, existing Folderbase boundaries, and other metadata. It treats file contents as untrusted and keeps analysis bounded.
One clear action at a time.
Folderbase is designed to make a technically rigorous protocol feel understandable at the folder level. This product plate shows the intended experience without hiding the underlying authority or version boundary.

Let Folderbase Propose a Better Structure
Ask only consequential questions
The system surfaces ambiguity it cannot safely infer: ownership, lifecycle, sharing scope, canonical sources, or whether two areas should be separate security boundaries.
Draft a complete plan
The proposal names the intended folders, moves, renames, template guidance, and any boundary implications. It is bound to the analyzed source state so a stale plan cannot quietly apply later.
Review and approve
The App presents a before-and-after view. The user can approve the Change Set, exclude changes, answer a question, or keep the original structure.
Apply as a recoverable version
An approved reorganization publishes through normal Folderbase versioning. Moves retain durable object identity, and rollback can restore the prior materialized layout.
What the workflow must preserve.
- Default is no reorganization
- Proposal before mutation
- Approval for consequential changes
- Stale plans fail closed
- Rollback preserves user-owned bytes
Common questions about organize.
Can Folderbase organize files for me?
Yes, when you ask it to. It first produces a reviewable proposal rather than moving files during initial setup.
Can I reject part of a proposed structure?
The intended App experience lets a user review the proposed Change Set, exclude changes, answer questions, or skip the reorganization.
Are Folderbase templates permanent schemas?
No. Templates are versioned guidance for starting and expanding a Folderbase. They do not permanently lock its kind or directory layout.
