How do I organize my library, projects, and saved styles?

Quick answer: everything you make or upload lands in your Library, which you filter by type, by project, and by search. Inside each project, the Files tab has real folders, nested as deep as you need, and any folder can be shared with a client as a link. Reusable ingredients like style references and sourced products get their own homes so you can use them across jobs.

The Library

The Library page has one row of chips, one per kind of thing MONA holds: All, Images, Videos, 3D Models, Floorplans, Pages, Databases, Files, Products, Slides, and Recordings. Pick a chip to see only that kind; All is the whole library in one feed. Three more controls narrow things down:

• Project. Show only what is attached to one project.
• Filter. Where the file came from (uploaded, made by MONA, Google Drive, Gmail, Outlook), only your own, or only files that are on no project. Anything you apply shows as a pill you can remove with one tap.
• Search. The search box at the top searches the kind you are looking at by name.

To add files, use the Upload button in the header or drag them anywhere onto the page. The Library accepts more than images: PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, videos, CAD drawings, and room scans all live there, so a project’s tear sheets and spec docs can sit next to its renders. Saved templates have their own shelf behind the Templates button.

Projects

Create one project per job, then add renders, floor plans, files, and products to it with Add to Project. The Projects page also shows the project entities MONA’s agent maintains, with timelines of what has happened on each. When you download, you can grab a whole project’s images as a single ZIP.

How do I organize a project’s files into folders?

Every project has a Files tab with its own folder tree.

1. Open the project and pick the Files tab.
2. On a project with no folders yet, click Create starter folders for a ready-made set: Inspiration, Reference Photos, MONA Renders, Studio Renders, Drawings & Plans, and Documents. Or click New folder and name your own.
3. Open a folder and click New folder again to make a subfolder, for example Permits inside Documents. Folders nest up to eight levels deep.
4. With a folder open, click Upload, drag files from your computer onto the page, or click Save from link to pull in an image from the web. You can also paste an image or a link anywhere on the tab. Whatever you add lands in the open folder.
5. To file things you already have, select them in the grid, click Move to folder, and pick a folder or Top level.

The breadcrumb above the grid shows where you are, and the type chips above the files (All, Images, MONA renders, Documents, Videos) filter within the open folder. A file in a project folder still shows in the Library, so nothing is hidden by filing it.

Deleting a folder never deletes files. Its files and subfolders move up one level, to the folder above it or to the top of the project. Anyone on the team can create folders and move files; renaming, deleting, and sharing a folder is limited to whoever made it and the studio’s admins.

You can also ask MONA in chat to set up or tidy a project’s folders, for example “make a Permits folder in the Hudson St project and move the city PDFs into it.”

How do I share a folder with a client?

Open the folder and use its share control to create a link. Whoever you send it to can browse that folder and its subfolders and download the files, without a MONA account. They see file names, previews, and downloads, never your other projects or your prompts. You can give the link an expiry date or turn it off at any time; anyone who opens it after that sees that the link is no longer active.

Reusable styles

If you have a look you apply again and again, save it as a Style: a reference image MONA can restyle any render toward. Your saved styles live at My Styles, and you can apply them across projects, which is the closest thing to a saved prompt you will need for visual consistency. You can also just tell the agent your preferences in plain language, and your studio’s brand profile carries taste-level context across your work.

The Products library

Paste a product URL and MONA scrapes the image, title, and details into your team’s shared Products library. Products can be attached to projects, placed into presentations, and used as reference images when editing renders. It is team-wide, so a sourcing find by one designer is available to everyone.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make folders in MONA? Yes, inside each project. Open the project, go to the Files tab, and click New folder or Create starter folders. Folders can hold subfolders up to eight levels deep.

Can I make folders in the Library itself? Not yet. Folders live inside projects. In the Library you narrow things down with the type chips, the Project filter, the Filter menu, and search.

What happens to my files if I delete a folder? Nothing is lost. The files and any subfolders inside it move up one level, to the folder above it or to the top of the project.

Can I share a folder with a client? Yes. Open the folder and use its share control to create a link. The person you send it to can browse and download that folder and its subfolders without a MONA account. You can set it to expire or turn it off at any time.

Who can rename or delete a folder? Anyone on the team can create folders and move files into them. Renaming, deleting, and sharing a folder is limited to whoever created it and the studio’s admins.

Can I reuse a prompt I liked? Save the look as a Style and apply it to new work, or keep the wording in a note in MONA’s Notes. For recurring work, a scheduled task stores the full instruction and runs it on a schedule.

Are my uploads visible to my whole team? Yes, a workspace is shared. Everyone on your team works from the same Library and Projects.
