Use Finder Labels to Organize Your Files and Folders

A Little Color Can Go a Long Way in Organizing Files and Folders

Finder labels provide an easy way to organize and quickly recognize related information. For example, you might use red for all work-related items, blue for homework or research items, and yellow for personal items. You can also use color to organize and identify the pieces of a project.

2. Select one of the seven available label colors from the pop-up menu.
   
   
3. Repeat the above steps for any additional files or folders you want to label.
