Organizing Documents

Organizing Documents will take place on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 1:30 pm PT.

This workshop will explore methods to organize your documents, primarily among your Desktop and Documents folders:

1. Discuss strategies for categorizing documents
2. Decide whether to store items in Desktop, Documents, or elsewhere
3. Discover approaches to viewing files on the Desktop

Prerequisites

1. If I offer any demonstration, it will be on a Mac running macOS 15. For a similar enough experience, yours should be on at least macOS 13. To find your version, look in  > About This Mac.
2. Ensure Zoom is up to date on your Mac: Open Zoom, click the Zoom application menu, Check for Updates, and install whatever is offered.
3. Be prepared to join a Zoom meeting and share your screen. You will receive a Zoom link after you register. Ensure Zoom is already permitted share your screen (Screen Recording) and to allow screen control (Accessibility). I also recommend setting Zoom to Maintain current size when screen sharing. Review my Zoom page for details, especially if you have never before shared the screen of your current Mac.
4. Be familiar with:
   1. Mac interface basics, such as the menu bar, Dock, and Finder, as well as the Option key
   2. The content of Application Switcher and Take Control of Windows regarding basic window management, including how to switch between windows or applications
   3. Are You a Finder or a Keeper? and Desktop Reflection, including making Finder windows and folders, and moving and renaming items
