Library

The Library: everything you've saved, in one place

The Library holds every link, PDF, image, note, table, saved post, and highlight in your workspace. Boards are optional views on top.

·2 min read

Click Library in the sidebar to see everything you've saved: links, PDFs, images, documents, tables, saved posts, and highlights. Saving something never makes you pick a folder.

Find something you saved

  • Tap a shelf at the top, like Tables, Docs, or Not on a board. See Filtering your Library.
  • Type in the search bar at the top. See Searching your Library.
  • Use Filter to narrow by type, source, date, topic, or tag. See Filtering your Library.
  • Click Recents to see what you edited last.
  • Pick Filter → Type → Highlights to see all your highlights.

Add things to your Library

Everything you save lands here by default.

Library vs boards

  • Each item exists once in your Library.
  • A board shows the items you pick for a project. Adding an item to a board doesn't copy it.
  • The same item can sit on many boards. Edit it once and every board shows the change.
  • To put an item on a board, right-click it and choose Add to board.

What you can do with an item

  • Read it. Links, PDFs, EPUBs, and posts open in reader view.
  • Highlight it. Highlights show up under the Highlights type filter.
  • Tag it. See Tags.
  • Pin it. Right-click and click the pin icon to keep it in your sidebar.
  • Archive it. Hide it from the grid without deleting it.
