Organize Your Papers with Collections
You can now organize and manage your papers in the Elicit Library using Collections. Collections help you group related research, customize organization, and quickly launch reviews or extractions.
Creating a Collection
There are three ways to create a new collection:
From selected papers in your library (right sidebar)
Select one or more papers in your library.
In the right sidebar, click Add to collection.
Choose an existing collection or create a new one
From the Collections panel (left sidebar)
In the left sidebar, next to Collections, click the + icon.
Give your new collection a name and (optionally) a description.
From the upload pop-up
Upload papers to the Library using the Upload button in the top right corner
In the Upload pop-up, click Add to collection
Choose an existing collection or create a new one
Uploaded papers will be added to the collection and will also be available in the ‘All’ section of your Library
Managing Collections
You can edit and manage your collections through the right sidebar:
Rename or update the description: Open the Settings tab for the selected collection.
Delete a collection: In the same tab, choose Delete collection. You’ll be given the option to delete just the collection or delete the collection and all papers inside it.
Add papers to collections. You can add any paper in your Library to any collection. Papers can also be in multiple collections at a time. Select the papers and click on Add to collection (or Add to another collection) in the right sidebar.
Remove papers from collections. You can remove papers from any collection by selecting the paper and clicking on Remove from this collection in the right sidebar. Removing a paper from a collection doesn’t delete the paper.
Using Collections for Research
Collections make it easy to start new workflows:
Launch a systematic review or data extraction directly from the quick tools menu in the right sidebar.
In workflows from the homepage (systematic review, chat with papers, and upload and extract) you can add collections of papers.
With collections, you’ll have more control over how you organize, explore, and use your research in Elicit.
