Files, folders and the Vault
Organise your Kazi documents in the File Manager. Create folders, star and search files, upload from your computer and start from blueprints.
The File Manager (also called the Vault) holds every file you create in Kazi. Open it with OS Suite → File Manager in the top-left corner.
