Working with files
Every file has a menu with info, description, favourite, move and delete. You can work on several files at once with the selection, or move them by dragging.
Device
Info #
Tap ⓘ in the list or choose “Info” in the … menu. From top to bottom, the info pane shows:
- a preview, the title and key facts, with “Open” and the star for favourites,
- “Content Description” with its status, text and actions, see Descriptions,
- “Matches” – the pages an Apple Intelligence description is based on; tap one to open that page in the workspace,
- “Tags” – tap a tag to assign it to the file or remove it again,
- “Info” with kind, pages, size (for PDFs), created, modified and location with the full folder path, such as “Nexnor › Clients › 2026”.
Note“Matches” and “Tags” only appear when there are matches or tags. The grid has no ⓘ button; use the … menu there.
On iPadThe info pane appears as a column to the right of the file list.
On iPhoneThe info pane opens as a separate sheet over the file list.
On iPhone DuoFolded, the info pane opens as a sheet; unfolded, as a column right of the fold; the sidebar then makes room and the list sits on the left.
Selecting several files #
How to
- Tap “Select” (circle with a checkmark) at the top right.
- Tap folders, files or text documents to select them. “Select All” selects everything in the current view.
- Choose an action in the bar at the bottom.
- Tap “Done” to end the selection.
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| “Describe” | creates descriptions for the selected documents, see Descriptions |
| “Merge” | combines at least two documents into a new file |
| “Move to…” | moves everything to “Files” or into a folder (shown with its path) |
| “Tags” | adds a tag to the selected files |
| “Favorite” | marks everything as a favourite; if all are already favourites, the button reads “Remove from Favorites” |
| “Delete” | moves everything to the Trash after a confirmation |
Note“Tags” only adds tags; to remove a tag, use the info pane of the individual file. Completed items drop out of the selection; anything that didn’t work stays selected so you can repeat the action.
On iPadThe action bar at the bottom shows icons with labels.
On iPhoneWhile selecting, the tab bar is hidden and the actions appear as icons at the bottom.
On iPhone DuoFolded as on iPhone; unfolded, the action bar shows icons with labels.
Merging files #
“Merge” creates a new file from the pages of several documents. Images, attachments and tasks are carried over; the originals stay unchanged.
How to
- Tap “Select” and select at least two documents.
- Tap “Merge” at the bottom.
- Change the suggested “Name of the New File” if you like.
- Drag the files under “Order” into the sequence you want.
- Tap “Merge”.
NoteThe new file is placed in the folder of the first file in the order and opens in the workspace. Text documents have no pages and are not merged. Without Nexnor Pro, the new file counts towards the 10 free documents; once the limit is reached, the Nexnor Pro offer appears.
Drag and drop #
Within Files you can move files, text documents and folders by dragging: touch and hold a row or tile briefly, then drag it onto a folder. A folder is outlined in blue when you move over it.
Valid targets are folders in the list or grid and the levels of the path bar. In selection mode, dragging a selected item moves all selected items together.
NoteYou can’t drag files from other apps into Files. Use Import from Files or the share sheet instead.
On iPadIn the sidebar, “On My Nexnor”, the folders in the folder tree and folder shortcuts also accept dropped items. Drag a folder onto the top edge of another folder in the tree to place it before that folder.
On iPhone DuoUnfolded, the sidebar also accepts dropped items, as on iPad.
