Organizing folders by category during office work is an essential practice for long-term file storage, enabling clearer identification of folder types to quickly locate the files we need. To make folders easier to find, we often add uniform text at the beginning of folder names to indicate their purpose and date. Some teams may go through multiple stages when handling a project, with numerous folder files moving from draft to review and then to the final version. During these stages, we can add different text prefixes according to each stage to help team members visually identify which projects have not been followed up on. By addressing the lagging folders in sequence, work efficiency can be significantly improved. Similarly, when an enterprise processes different types of files across multiple departments and places the sorted files into folders, it can batch-add year and date information at the beginning of folder names, enabling quick retrieval of data files from different years and making file management across the enterprise more convenient. Whether for enterprises, teams, or individual users, batch-adding the same text in front of folder names allows for more organized file management. So, how should we uniformly add matching text to all selected folders?

1. Usage Scenario

When a team has just started a project, many new folders are created to store materials. To distinguish these new folders from old ones, we can batch-add the same text to the front of these new folder names, making it easy to see at a glance which category the folders belong to, convenient for searching, and avoiding confusion with old folders.
