Manage your reading - Tags, Flag, Archive and detailed document info

With Polar you can do much more than read, learn and create annotations. If you want to organize and stay on top of your documents, then tags, flags and archiving will be your best friend.

All three options can be found on the far right of a document row in your dashboard, or on the top right when you're in a document.

With tags, you can assign each document to one or more self-appointed categories. This way you can later easily filter by these categories, and have your documents more organized by topics and categories.

Flags make a particular document stand out. You can think of it as a "favorite" button. Once you have flagged a document, you can simply click on "Flagged" in the top right corner of your dashboard, and you will see all of your most important documents.

You don't want to see a document in your dashboard anymore, but you don't want to delete it either? No problem, just archive your document by clicking on the center icon of the three icons and the document is archived.

Just come back to it later by clicking on the "Archived" button. You want to have more information about a document? No problem, just click on the three dots on the far right of a document line, or on the three dots on the top right when you are in a document.

Now you can open a document, rename it, tag and flag it, archive it, edit or download the meta information, delete the document, or download the document.

Furthermore, you can also organize your files in folders. Folders behave more like music playlists than traditional folders. Meaning, if you add or remove a file from a folder, you're not deleting the underlying file, you're just disassociating it from that folder. If you want to truly delete a file, you can do that in the library view.
