Overview
The Folder Block is a container block that holds multiple files on the canvas. When you need to work with a collection of documents — meeting notes, research papers, financial statements, etc. — the Folder Block groups them together. Agents can then use the Folder Synthesis Block to query across all files in the folder.How to Use
- Add a Folder Block — Click on the canvas → Select “Folder Block,” or drag a folder from your computer onto the canvas
- Add files — Drag and drop files into the folder, or upload them directly
- Organize your collection — Group related documents together
- Connect downstream — Link the Folder Block to a Folder Synthesis Block to run queries across all files, or connect directly to Chat, Prompt, Deep Research, or other blocks that should use the folder as a source
