# Read your Favorites

What each row in Favorites tells you, which item types it holds, and the order they appear in.

Favorites is one plain list with no columns to sort and no views to switch between. Each row is one starred item, and the newest star is always at the top.

![Five rows of the Favorites list. The first is COSHH Register 2026.xlsx, with a green spreadsheet icon and the line Added Mar 20, 2026. Below it four folders, each shown with an orange folder on a pale orange square: Engineering Workshop added Mar 6, 2026, Sales & Tenders added Mar 4, 2026, Health & Safety added Mar 3, 2026, and Board Packs added Mar 2, 2026.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/nest/favorites/favorites-files-folders.png)

*Files carry their type icon; folders sit on an orange square. The two kinds share one list, in the order they were starred.*

*Parts of a row in Favorites*

The next two, the Engineering Workshop and Sales & Tenders folders, end in the star alone.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/nest/favorites/favorites-download-stops.png)

*The download arrow stops where the folders begin. The count above the list, 10 items here, is every item you've starred.*

## What can be on the list

- **Files**: From your own folders, from team folders you're a member of, and from Recent Files.
- **Folders**: Your own and team folders alike, at any depth. A folder inside a folder can be starred on its own.
- **Your stars only**: Favorites is personal. A colleague who stars the same file has their own list, and yours never changes because of theirs.

> **Note:**
>
> A starred item stays on the list if it's moved to Trash, and it leaves for good only when it's deleted permanently. **A favourite does not open** covers what that looks like.
