Folders

If you’re an information junkie, you’ll quickly amass a lot of subscriptions – you can use folders to organize them better. Creating folders is easy – just right click on a specific feed you want to include in the new folder and choose the Assign to new folder option. Once you have created some folders, you can add a feed straight from the right-click context menu – here you’ll see a list of all folders.

When your content is all set up, you can take care of the visual side – after all, it’s really important to have a comfortable reading environment that best suits your content and your preferences. Click on the eye icon to access the most common reading options.

Part of those, like default sorting and grouping, apply to your full Inoreader experience. You can set the view style at the global level, for a specific folder or feed. To change the default view for all articles, click on All articles in the tree pane and choose your view. If you click on a folder or feed, you can alter the view settings for that particular object.

Try out the different view styles and find the one that feels most comfortable – and don’t be afraid to mix and match. For example, you may find it easiest to use List view for quickly scanning news and Card view for your favourite photography blogs.
