Tips & Best Practices

Scale safely

Start with manual processing, then enable Watch Folders.

Test with a few files from different sources.

Iterate on transformations as you see results.

Pick the right mode

Use Automatic for routine files (Downloads, Screenshots).

Keep Manual for high‑stakes docs (contracts, legal, tax).

Mix both: auto for common, manual for special cases.

Custom needs?

The patterns here are starting points. Adjust placeholders and transformations to fit your exact workflow.
