DOH! I got it! I add folders from my computer. I'm used to adding a folder, labeling it, and then adding items to the folder. It's a little confusing, but I understand now how Textastic works. It's all working okay now. Sorry to trouble you. You can please close this ticket with a smile.٩(^ᴗ^)۶ 

Hi Alexander,

I'm sorry there is no plus. Click the add folder button in the sidebar. There is no add folder. Here is a screenshot of my folder. I don't see it in the sidebar. I'm just sorry I just downloaded the free trial. I'm on a Mac Mini with the latest Tahoe 26.4, I believe.sidebar no add folder icon

Yes, I ditto Word and character count. Most helpful for my use.
