FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Sort Work Folder Files:

Can I use this as a local file organizer?

Yes, if your work folder syncs with your computer. Choose that folder during setup; unrelated local folders are outside the Agent's reach.

Will it make new folders on its own?

You choose the categories it may create and the folder names that mean the same thing. It creates a subfolder only when no equivalent exists.

What happens when a file could fit several folders?

The Agent puts it in Needs Review and names the possible destinations in the report. You can decide where it belongs.

What if a file changes or its destination already has that name?

The file stays put, and the report names the conflict for you. A failed folder scan or report save stops that run and surfaces the failed operation.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
