Your Library is where all the papers from your research live. 🐰 Each project has its own Library, with its own collections, Reading List and Recently Found. This guide covers how to set up your collections and keep your Library organized. See How to create multiple projects.

Creating collections and subcollections
You can create Collections in your library or create them while you are exploring articles.
Collections can be set to a Parent collection and this creates a subcollection. Subcollections can also be a Parent collection - allowing multiple layers of organization with sub-subcollections.
You can edit collections at any layer, allowing lots of flexibility for organizing as well as sharing with collaborators. Learn more about sharing a collection with collaborators →
Moving, copying, and deleting articles
From your Library, you can manage articles across collections by selecting the article and clicking the Save to button or by dragging and dropping items between collections.
You can:
Move articles between collections or subcollections
Copy the same article into multiple collections
Delete articles
Articles remain in your Library even when you move them between collections.
Common questions
Can I put the same paper in more than one collection?
Yes. Save it to each collection you want. On your map, a paper that’s in more than one collection shows as a split-color dot.
How can I see which collections a paper is in?
Open the paper. The collections it’s saved to are listed under Save to.
If I move a paper to another collection, is it removed from my Library?
No. Papers stay in your Library when you move them between collections.
Where are the papers I found but didn’t save?
They’re in Recently Found in your Library. See How to save papers from your search into collections.
Can I share a collection with other people?
Yes. You can share it with a public link, or invite people to collaborate. See How to share a collection with a public link and How to collaborate on a shared collection.
