Managing content

You can organize your content by using trays or by adding content files to specific folders on your computer.

A tray is useful for gathering content from various folders. While the files are referenced in the tray, they actually remain in their original location. You can add and remove content from the tray. The tray is shared between CorelDRAW, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, and Corel CONNECT. You can also open files from the tray to preview them more easily.

You can rename trays to give them meaningful names. When working with multiple trays, you can close some trays temporarily to avoid clutter. You can easily reopen a tray when you need it. In addition, you can load a tray file that is not listed among the available trays. You can delete a tray at any time.
