 - **Hierarchical Document Organization:** Organize your documents in a familiar folder structure. Create nested subfolders, duplicate items, and use drag-and-drop to rearrange your workspace or import files from your computer.
 - **Clipboard Capture:** Turn whatever is on your system clipboard into a document in one step—DocForge classifies the contents automatically, generates a title with your connected LLM when possible, and prompts you to restore permissions if clipboard access is blocked.
 - **Full Context Menu & Keyboard Navigation:** Navigate and manage items using a complete right-click context menu or use only the keyboard for a faster workflow.
 - **Universal Monaco Editor:** A powerful, VS Code-like editor is used for all document types, including Markdown, HTML, and various source code files, with syntax highlighting and code folding.
 - **One-Click Formatting:** Clean up Markdown, JSON, JavaScript, and TypeScript documents directly from the editor toolbar.
 - **Cancel Unsaved Changes:** Instantly roll a document back to its last saved state with a dedicated toolbar button when an experiment goes sideways.
 - **Document Locking:** Protect sensitive drafts by toggling a padlock button that flips the editor into a read-only mode until you intentionally unlock it.
+- **Emoji-Enhanced Titles:** Insert emoji directly into document and folder names or let the AI suggest a prefix so your workspace stays scannable at a glance.
 - **Multi-Document Tabs:** Keep several documents open at once, pin important files, and quickly jump between them using the tab strip and overflow picker.
 - **Multi-Format Live Preview:** Get a real-time, rendered preview for Markdown, HTML, PDFs, and common image formats. The preview can be displayed side-by-side (vertically or horizontally) with the editor, and binary formats open straight into preview mode with zoom and pan controls tailored to each viewer.
 - **Focused Workspace Zoom:** Use a single set of zoom controls that automatically follow whichever pane—editor or preview—has focus, complete with 5% increments, keyboard and mouse support, and quick resets.
