filed away
Put in folders
Filed away means stored in a file or filing system, typically for future reference: She filed away the receipts in case of an audit.
The phrase often suggests deliberate preservation rather than active use—something set aside but not forgotten.
Figuratively, to file something away is to store it mentally: He filed away that piece of information for later.
