Horse has two ways to group Trails® together: Folders and Trailheads. They look similar at first and people often ask which one to use. The short answer: Folders for related research, Trailheads for whole parts of life.
Folder vs Trailhead
A Folder is a Trail that starts with a folder rather than a web page. It groups related Trails®, such as every Trail you’ve opened while planning a trip or every Trail about a single client.
A Trailhead is a top-level container with its own header. Most people end up with one for work, one for personal stuff, and maybe a third for a side project. Each Trailhead can hold Trails®, Folders, and Notes.
Folders and Trailheads exist because early users kept asking for them after spending an afternoon in the sidebar. The shape of the request was always the same: “I have a lot of Trails on the same theme. I want them grouped.”
