Library

Filtering and browsing your Library

Open a shelf like Tables or Docs, narrow your Library by type, source, date, topic, or tag, sort it, save views you reuse, and switch between Grid, List, and Sources.

·3 min read

Tap a shelf at the top of the Library, like Tables or Docs, to see only that kind of thing. For finer picks, click Filter on the right side of the Library search bar. Pick a Type, Source, Date, Topic, or Tags, and the grid updates right away. Click Clear all in the menu to reset.

Open a shelf

Shelves sit right under the search bar on the web and in the phone apps. Each one shows how many items it holds. Empty shelves stay in the row, a little dimmer.

Inside a shelf, chips help you narrow it fast. Tap one to turn it on, tap it again to turn it off.

Click Library in the row above the items to go back to everything.

Use Grid and List at the right of the filter row. On your phone they sit just above your items, and the Library opens in List unless you pick Grid.

GridSkimming visually
ListMoving fast with keys
SourcesSeeing everything grouped by where it came from. See Sources.

List groups items under Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 days, Previous 30 days, and then by month. In List, press ↑ ↓ (or J K) to move, Enter to open, B to add to a board, and E to archive.

Keep or clear AI drafts

When Eden chat, a Custom AI, or an AI assistant connected through the Eden MCP writes a document or table for you, it lands on the Made by Eve shelf as a draft, not in your main Library. That keeps your Library to the things you chose.

  • Keep one: right-click it and choose Keep in Library. Editing it, pinning it, or adding it to a board keeps it too.
  • Keep or clear them all: open Made by Eve and click Keep all or Archive all.
  • Leave it: drafts you don't touch for 30 days are archived for you. Nothing is deleted.

Made by Eve shows everything an AI ever made, kept or not.

Archive without deleting

Right-click an item and click the archive icon at the top of the menu, or select several and click Archive. Archived items leave the grid but keep their boards and content. To bring one back, open Filter → Archived, right-click it, and choose Unarchive.
