Collections and Resources

Collections are project spaces. Each collection keeps notes and resources together so you can move between reading, drafting, and AI help without rebuilding context.

Hub

The Hub lists your collections. From there you can:
  • create a new collection
  • search collections by name
  • sort by name, item count, or creation date
  • open the browser extension setup prompt
  • open a collection to work with notes and resources

Collection tabs

Each collection has two main tabs:
  • Notes: Drafts, reading notes, outlines, and imported source notes.
  • Resources: PDFs, Word files, DOI imports, source files, and other project material.

Adding resources

Use Add Resource from the Resources tab to add material in three ways:
  • From Library: Select existing files from your library, including multiple files at once.
  • Upload New: Upload a new PDF or DOCX into the collection.
  • Import DOI: Paste a DOI or DOI URL so Oystack can fetch paper metadata and, when available, an open-access PDF.
If a DOI import does not find an open-access PDF, the item can still appear as a reference-only resource.

Managing resources

The Resources tab supports:
  • searching by title, author, venue, journal, or file name
  • filtering by year and resource type
  • sorting by date, name, or year
  • selecting visible resources
  • moving or copying resources to another collection
  • removing resources from the current collection
Removing a resource from a collection does not necessarily delete the underlying library file.

Importing sources into notes

Collections can also turn source files into notes. Use Import Source when you want a DOCX, TEX, or ZIP source to become a note, or when you want to append/replace content inside an existing note.
Keep collections practical. One collection per paper, project, chapter, or client deliverable is usually easier to maintain than one large catch-all.
