# How to move a recipe to a different folder

Published: 2026-02-06 · Last updated: 2026-02-06

Folders are a great way to keep your recipes organized. You can easily move a recipe into a different folder, or even add it to multiple folders at the same time -- for example, a chicken stir-fry could live in both "Quick Weeknight Dinners" and "Asian Cuisine."

## How to move a recipe

1

**Open the recipe**

Navigate to the recipe you want to move and tap to open it.

2

**Tap the folder icon**

Look for the folder icon on the recipe screen. Tapping it will show you a list of all your folders.

3

**Select the new folder**

Tap the folder you want to add the recipe to. A checkmark will appear next to selected folders.

4

**Deselect the old folder (optional)**

If you want the recipe to appear only in the new folder, deselect the previous folder by tapping it. If you'd like the recipe in both, simply leave both selected.

## Recipes can live in multiple folders

Honeydew lets a single recipe belong to as many folders as you like. There's no need to choose just one -- add it wherever it makes sense for you. The recipe itself isn't duplicated; it simply appears in each selected folder for easy access.

If you don't have the right folder yet, create a new one first from the Folders tab, then come back and add the recipe to it.
