Bower gives you a few ways to move, copy, and tidy up your workspace. None of them require you to open a note to act on it.

​
The page tree

The left-hand panel is your page tree — a hierarchical view of all your notes and collections. It’s the main way to navigate and organise your workspace.

​
Drag and drop

  • Move a note — drag it from its current position to a new location in the tree. Drop it onto a collection to nest it inside.
  • Move a collection — drag an entire collection (and everything inside it) to a new position.
Drag-and-drop works for both notes and collections.

​
Multi-select bulk actions

For moving, copying, or deleting multiple items at once:
1

Select items

Click the checkboxes next to notes or collections to select them. In the table view, hold Shift and click to select all rows between two items.
2

Choose an action from the toolbar

A bulk action toolbar appears when items are selected:
  • Move to — move all selected items to a new parent
  • Copy to — copy all selected items to a collection (originals stay in place)
  • Delete — permanently delete all selected items
Bulk actions apply to everything in your selection. If you’ve selected a collection, all artifacts within it are included.

​
The ⋮ menu

Every note and collection in the page tree has a ⋮ menu (the three-dot icon that appears on hover). This gives you per-item actions without needing to open the item first.
ActionWhat it does
RenameEdit the note or collection title inline
Move toMove to a different collection
Copy toDuplicate to a collection
Add to collectionAssociate with a collection
DeleteRemove permanently (with confirmation)

​
Undoing actions

When you move or copy items, a toast notification appears at the bottom of the screen with an Undo button. You have 5 seconds to undo the action before it’s finalised.

​
A note on deletion

Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. When you delete a collection, all artifacts and sub-collections inside it are also deleted. Original attachments are removed alongside their notes. If you need to preserve data, export it before deleting.
