A useful detail
Do I need to move files into separate folders to organise them?
No. Ratings, colour labels and filters let you organise the view while keeping the files in their existing folders.
A useful detail
Why might a search miss a photo I can see in a folder?
Search becomes more complete as Lighthouse indexes files and analyses available previews. Recognised subjects and text depend on that analysis and may not be available for every image.
Continue with the files you found.
Preview the document, finish the photograph or prepare the selection to share.
Browse project files
Find a brief, logo or photo in a project folder, preview it and open the right file for editing.
