# File management

> Organize project files, copy paths, preview images, and provide files to AI.

Every file in a workspace folder appears in Otterflow's file tree. Use it to create and organize material, copy paths, open files in other applications, preview images, or add a file to the current AI conversation.

## File-tree basics

Right-click in the file tree or use its controls to:

* create a file or subfolder;
* refresh after files change outside Otterflow; and
* rename a file or directory.

An empty directory is labeled **Empty folder**.

## Copy paths

* **Copy path** copies the full absolute path on disk, useful for the operating system, terminal, or another app.
* **Copy project path** copies the path relative to the current workspace, which is easier to share and remains meaningful if the workspace is moved.

## Add a file to AI

Right-click a file and choose **Add to current conversation** when you want AI to read it as context. This is useful for asking AI to continue a draft, review a source, or revise existing writing based on a specific document.

> 📷 **Placeholder: file context menu** — show the “Add to current conversation” and “Show in folder” actions.

## Open in the system

Use **Open** or **Open with default application** to hand a file to its normal system app. Use **Show in folder** to reveal the containing folder. On macOS, this is shown as **Reveal in Finder**.

## Image preview

Open image files in the built-in preview. Zoom in, zoom out, or reset zoom to inspect a figure or check a visual asset.
