Figure 2 shows a folder containing many more items. In this case the New Note and New Folder button remain stuck to the bottom of the page while items scroll behind them. We would have preferred to put the buttons near the top, where they would be more easily spotted. However, between the search box, the bread crumbs, and the affordances to sort the files and folders by name or date modified, it would have made the top of the page too cluttered. 
Figure 3. New folder creation.
Clicking the New Folder button results in a folder being added to the top of the folder list, with and input with "New Folder" selected for pending delete. Pressing enter of blurring the input box results in the new folder sorting into place with a brief highlight animation so the user's eye is drawn to the new location. Clicking on the New Note button goes straight to the editing interface for the new note, which is shown later in Figure N.
