Search & Filters

Find the design by what you remember, not just the filename.

Search every folder and drive in your library at once by file name, layer and canvas names, machine, project, tag, category or note. Then narrow the results by machine, folder, type and tag, and sort them the way you work.

Before and after

From guessing the file name to finding the design.
