I have just upgraded to 1P7 beta 6 (with a 1 month trial). In 1P6 it was quite simple to create a Smart Folder; a) File / New Smart Folder or b) Create a search query and hit Save. Neither of these are appearing for me with 1P7.

    Glad to know it's not just me.

    Hi @eddie81 & @Dianeoforegon,

    I suspect this isn't a bug in the beta, but instead it's because 1Password accounts don't support folders. If you have a local vault selected you should find you can create a smart folder. The same should be true in 1Password 6 as well. Please do correct me if you're seeing something else but I was able to create a new Smart Folder as long as I selected a local vault first.

    Thanks @littlebobbytables

    Is this the same with Tags too? I have predefined tags but cannot see how to create additional tags or reroder/nest tags with a 1Password subscription account.

    Hello @eddie81,

    While we've added the concept of nested tags, other than that I don't think we've changed too much but I could be wrong. Creating new tags is still by editing an item and typing in the title of the the tag. If you want to create a sequence of new nested tags you would add them all in one go with / to separate e.g. software/licence/Mac. You can rename individual layers in the tags by right clicking on that specific tag in the category pane and selecting the Rename option. Reorganising an existing structure seems to require deleting the old nested tag and adding an entirely new one so it's quite possible there are some things we can do to make the process easier. It's still an early beta so plenty of scope for improvement.

    Let me know if that helps with tags.
