Favorites
Use Favorites in Chordly to keep your most-used songs and folders close at hand without changing your broader library structure.
Favorites is the quick-access view in the dashboard. Star the songs and folders you come back to most, and they stay together in one place.
That makes favorites useful for:
- this week's set
- songs you are actively editing
- folders you open all the time
- material you need on short notice
Add something to Favorites
You can favorite both songs and folders from the dashboard.
- On a song row, click the star button.
- On a folder card, click the star button.
Once starred, the item appears in Favorites from the sidebar.
What the Favorites page shows
The favorites page uses the same dashboard surface as the main library, but the lists change to:
- Favorite Folders
- Favorite Songs
That makes it easy to jump between your saved list and the full library without learning a different screen.
Search and filter favorites
The favorites page keeps the same search and filter tools as the main library.
You can still:
- search
- sort by Modified or Created
- filter by Date
- filter by Owner
When you want to return to the full library, use All Songs in the filter row.
Favorites are not folders
Favorites do not replace folders. They just give you a faster way back to the songs and folders you use most.
If you remove a song or folder from favorites, it still stays in your library. Nothing is deleted or reorganized. You are only changing whether it appears in the favorites view.
That is the key difference:
- folders organize
- favorites show what matters right now
Combining folders and favorites
A simple pattern works well for many libraries:
- keep long-term categories in Folders
- star the songs and folders you need this week
That gives you a clean archive and a quick-access view at the same time.
