# Document management

vLex provides you with the tools you need for easy digital document management.

Our document management tools are always located in the top right corner of a document.

## **Save as favourite**

The **Save as favourite** icon will save the document you are reading, allowing you to easily find it again in your folders.

{% hint style="info" %}
Find the documents you mark as favourites in the [Folders](/features/document-management/folders.md) menu. For advice on making the most of your folders, read [Create a research workflow](/support-1/frequently-asked-questions/research-using-folders.md).
{% endhint %}

## **Add to folder**

This option adds the document into your [Folders](/features/document-management/folders.md). Use the pop-up dialogue to add the document to a new folder, or put it into an existing one.

## **Share**

The **Share** tab allows you to share a document with colleagues or other vLex users in various ways. You can use social media, email, [reference managers](/features/integrations.md), or [copy a link to the document](/support-1/frequently-asked-questions/share-documents.md), which you can paste wherever suits you.

![The share menu](https://1556743161-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS8Dq_iqEIflAmbaOkI%2F-Mbmbi3Awv0qExDkm9R6%2F-MbmoO9qEzHj8oC7ijVj%2Fshare%20menu.png?alt=media\&token=cb837387-a89d-44ad-bba1-8f4e7233540f)

**Share**

* Selecting **Twitter**, **Facebook**, or **LinkedIn** will open a new tab, automatically creating a post on that site with a link to the document you are sharing.
* **Email** will open a pop-up within vLex from which you can send a link to the document. Your recipient will get an email from <no-reply@vlex.com> informing them that you have sent the document.

**Reference managers**

These [integrations](/features/integrations.md) are great for researchers who want to keep their citations in dedicated software.

* [RefWorks](/features/integrations.md#refworks) will open in a new tab where you can sign into their website.
* [RIS (EndNote)](/features/integrations.md#endnote) will download the .ris file to your computer. You can use this file to upload the information from the **Import References** menu in EndNote Desktop or EndNote online.

**Copy**

* **Link to page** will open a box with a link you can use to share immediate access to the relevant page on vLex.
* **ID vLex** is a number you can enter into vLex, or share with others, that will allow you to find the document quickly and easily.

## **Download**

The **Download** button opens a menu where you can choose between downloading a PDF or a Word version of the document.

Usually, PDFs will open in a new tab of your browser, and you will need to click download again on the PDF reader.&#x20;

Microsoft Word (.docx) documents usually go straight into your downloads folder.
