Smart Folders, comments, and subject-focused reference work
This update page packages one of Hive’s most meaningful product directions: better retrieval through Smart Folders, richer library context through comments, and a more focused visual workflow.
What’s new
- Smart Folders make filtered reference views reusable instead of manual.
- Comments add context directly inside the library when a reference needs a note, not a separate app.
- Subject-focused tools support cleaner browsing when the image itself is not the only thing you need to see.
Improvements
- Reference libraries stay useful as they grow instead of collapsing into long manual browsing sessions.
- Project teams can keep more nuance inside the collection itself.
Fixes
- Reduced friction between capturing references and turning them into searchable, project-ready collections.
Who benefits
- Designers get faster filtered mood boards.
- Photographers get cleaner shoot reference groupings.
- Interior workflows gain better context for materials and room concepts.
