File Manager

The File Manager provides a single place to organize all files in your workspace — uploaded documents, AI agent outputs, Collab docs, landing pages, and external links.

Spaces

Every workspace starts with three default spaces:

File Structure

Files are organized in a tree structure with up to 4 levels of nesting:

Space (root)
  > Folder
    > Folder
      > Folder
        > File

Each node in the tree is a FileNode with a type:

• Space — root container (auto-created)
• Folder — organizational grouping
• File — points to actual content via a storage backend

Storage Backends

Files in Coherence don't store content directly — they point to content via a storage backend:

This means moving a file between folders never moves the underlying blob — only the pointer changes.

Privacy Levels

Privacy cascades from parent to child. Moving a file into a private folder makes it private.

Sharing Files

Share individual files or folders with specific users:

1. Right-click a file or folder
2. Select Share
3. Add team members by name or email
4. They'll see the file in their Shared with me view

Favorites & Recent

• Star any file or folder to add it to your Favorites
• Recent shows files you've opened recently, sorted by last access time

Trash

Deleted files go to Trash for recovery:

• Files in Trash are soft-deleted (marked with a TrashedAt timestamp)
• Trash cascades — deleting a folder moves all children to Trash
• Restore files from Trash to their original location
• Permanently delete from Trash to remove the underlying storage

Search

Use the search bar in File Manager to find files by name across all spaces you have access to.
