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.
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.
| Shelf | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Docs | Every document |
| Posts | Posts you saved from social apps |
| Tables | Every table |
| Highlights | Your highlights |
| Media | Images and videos |
| Made by Eve | Everything an AI made for you, kept or not |
| Not on a board | Items that live only in your Library |
Inside a shelf, chips help you narrow it fast. Tap one to turn it on, tap it again to turn it off.
| Shelf | Chips you get |
|---|---|
| Posts | Platform, then topic |
| Tables and Docs | Today, This week, This month, then topic |
| Highlights | Your top books, then topic |
| Media, Made by Eve, Not on a board | Type, then date |
Click Library in the row above the items to go back to everything.

Pick a date range
Open Filter → Date. Choose Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or This month. For exact dates, fill in From and To, then click Apply.
Jump back to recent work
Under the search bar are one-click shortcuts:
- Recents puts what you edited last at the top.
- Reading list shows items you marked Add to reading list and items you started but didn't finish. It only shows when the list has something in it.
Click an active shortcut again to turn it off.
Save a view
- 01
Set your filters
Apply at least one filter. Save view appears in the row.
- 02
Name it
Click Save view, give it a name and an icon, and save.
Saved views are yours alone and follow you across devices. Right-click one to Edit or Delete it.
Switch layouts
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.
| Layout | Best for |
|---|---|
| Grid | Skimming visually |
| List | Moving fast with keys |
| Sources | Seeing 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.
Searching your Library with AI
Search everything you've saved by keyword and by meaning, or ask Eden to find it for you in chat.
Tagging items with workspace tags
Add colored tags to notes, links, PDFs, tables, and saved posts, tag things as you save them, and filter your Library by tag.
