Turning a Shared Telegram Folder into a Research Spreadsheet

A guide explains how to convert a shared Telegram folder into a spreadsheet that works as a research tool rather than just a list of channels. The process starts by exporting the folder's channel and group names and links through FolderLinks, which supports Excel and CSV formats. Users are advised to keep an untouched copy of the export and to check the links against the intended collection and for duplicates. The workflow then adds columns for topic, review status, and research notes, so each source can be tracked and justified. Finally, the guide recommends reviewing each source's content and originality before deciding whether to keep it, and logging individual findings with verification notes.
