Spaces, Collections, and Stacks

The hierarchy

Paperloom uses Space → Collection → Stack → Note. The goal is not to fill every layer; it is to add only the structure the work has earned.

• Spaces hold major areas.
• Collections hold active projects or topics.
• Stacks are optional branches inside Collections.
• Notes are the writing, plans, references and decisions.

Promotion and movement

A Stack can become a Collection, and a Collection can become a Space. Stacks move between Collections and Collections between Spaces when your map changes. Issues filed in a Collection follow it.

Pins and tags

Pin what matters to the top of the sidebar. Tag what you will want to find again; tags are plain #hashtags in the note and are indexed for Spotlight.
