Favorites

Favorites are a personal way to flag the documents and folders you care about most. In DocLock, "favorite" is the star you'll see beside every document and folder in the document table. Starring something marks it as a favorite for you.

Good to know: Favorites are not a separate screen with its own route. There is no documents/favorites page in the application. Instead, the star is a flag you set directly on a row in any document list, and you sort or scan for your starred items there.

Where favorites live

Favorites appear wherever the document table is shown — most commonly on All Documents and inside a workspace. You need permission to view documents (DOCUMENTS.VIEW) to use them.

The star is the very first column of the table (and on each card in Grid view). A filled, amber star means the item is a favorite; an empty star means it isn't.

Marking a favorite

1. Open a document list such as All Documents.
2. Find the document or folder you want.
3. Click the star in the first column. It fills in to show the item is now a favorite.
4. Click the star again at any time to remove the favorite.

You can also do this from the ⋮ (more) menu on a row, which shows Add to Favorites or Remove from Favorites depending on the current state. The same option is available on folder menus.

Finding your favorites

Because there's no dedicated Favorites page, use the document table to surface starred items:

• Click the star column header area / sort the table so starred items group together, or
• Scan any list — favorites stand out with their filled amber star.

Favorites vs. Pinned

These two look similar but do different things:

	Favorite (star)	Pinned (thumbtack)
Who sees it	Just you	Everyone in the workspace
Where you set it	The star column, or Add to Favorites in the row menu	Pin to Workspace in the row menu
Where it shows	Highlighted in document lists	The Pinned tab of the workspace sidebar

Use a favorite for your own quick access; use Pin to Workspace when you want the whole team to find an important file fast.

Tips

• Star a document right after you open it so you can get back to it later without searching.
• Removing a favorite never deletes or changes the document — it only clears your personal flag.

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to check
There's no "Favorites" item in the menu	That's expected — favorites are the star in document lists, not a standalone page.
The star doesn't appear	You need the DOCUMENTS.VIEW permission to see document lists — contact your administrator.
Your star didn't stick	Re-open the list and click the star again; if it still reverts, refresh the page and retry.
You wanted teammates to see it	Use Pin to Workspace from the row menu instead — that's the shared version.
