Organizing Your Work
Keep articles, sources, and ideas tidy with projects, folders, your materials library, and your inspiration library.
Last updated: September 12, 2026
As your writing grows, Muses gives you a few places to keep it in order — so you can always find the draft, the source, or the idea you're looking for.
Projects and articles
A project holds related articles together. Creating a project from the home page gives you its first blank article; add further drafts inside that project.
- Rename a project or an article right from the top bar, or by double-clicking its name in the sidebar.
- Each article has a ⋮ menu to move, rename, or delete it.
- Switch to the outline tab to jump around a long article by its headings.
- Add more articles to the same project when you're keeping several drafts on one theme.
- Delete a whole project when you're done with it.
Folders
Inside a project, folders keep things grouped when there's a lot of it.
- Create, rename, and delete folders.
- File articles into folders to group them.
- Drag items to reorder them the way you think about them.
Your materials library
The materials library is shared across a project — a place to collect everything you want the AI (and you) to draw on:
- Files, web links, and images have their own areas; mind maps appear in the Files list.
- Web pages the AI reads are added here automatically, and PDFs you upload get an AI summary so you can grasp them at a glance.
- Group materials into folders by type.
- Create a mind map and open it in the editor to map out a structure.
One difference worth knowing: you can upload a PDF to your materials library (and it'll be summarized), even though a PDF can't be imported directly as an article.
Your inspiration library
The inspiration library is tied to a single article — a lightweight notepad for ideas, angles, and things to check later.
- Jot, edit, and delete notes; they support Markdown.
- Star the ones that matter so they rise to the top.
- Each note holds up to 2,000 characters.
- When the AI writes an idea worth keeping, save it to your inspiration library with one click.
A naming habit that helps
- Name projects by theme (a campaign, a topic).
- Name articles by outcome ("email draft v1," "landing page copy").
- Running several drafts at once? Add
v1,v2,finalto tell them apart.
Arrange the workspace for the task
Use the editor's view controls to adjust the panels. Show articles or materials when gathering information, keep the chat visible when working with AI, and use focus mode when drafting. Collapse panels or expand one panel to full width, then exit the expanded view when finished. The view menu also offers all panels, hidden resources, hidden AI chat, or editor only.
Keep reference files and web pages in materials and your draft in an article. Use a mind map to arrange chapters or arguments. If your documents already have a folder structure, import a project to bring them in together.
