Hub and Collections

The Hub is where you organize your research workspace. It gives you a place to group source material, keep project-specific notes together, and open documents when you are ready to read or analyze them.

What you can do in the Hub

  • Create collections for a project, thesis chapter, client brief, class, or topic.
  • Add papers, drafts, and references to the right collection.
  • Search and sort your collections as your library grows.
  • Open a collection to switch between Notes and Resources.
  • Move from stored material into reading, analysis, and drafting without rebuilding context each time.

Working with collections

1

Create a collection

Open the Hub and create a new collection for the work you want to keep together.
2

Add resources

Add files or references to the collection so they are available in that workspace.
3

Use the notes and resources tabs

Inside a collection, use Resources to manage source material and Notes to draft, compare findings, and capture ideas.
4

Open a file when you are ready to read

Select a file from Resources to open it in the reading and analysis view.

Organizing as you go

Collections work best when they reflect how you actually think about the work.
  • Keep one collection per project, topic, or deliverable.
  • Use notes inside the collection instead of keeping ideas in a separate app.
  • Move or copy source material when it becomes relevant to more than one collection.
If a paper supports more than one project, keep your organization practical. Collections are for clarity, not perfection.

What happens inside a collection

Each collection gives you two main working surfaces:
  • Resources: Your papers, files, and imported references.
  • Notes: Your drafts, reading notes, and in-progress thinking linked to that collection.
That means you can gather material, read it, and write against it from the same workspace.
