Organisational tools in vLex allow you to:

Folders and favourites

To organise your research, you can create folders within vLex and add documents to them. This allows you to create your own system, with separate folders for documents relating to cases you're working on, or you own research interests. You can also mark documents as favourites, which makes them easy to come back to if they are documents that you rely on frequently.

In the document viewer, select Save as favourite or Add to folder in the top right.

To see or manage your favourites and folders, select Folders from the main menu.

Notes and highlights

When reading a document, you can create notes and highlight passages that are particularly important for your research. These are only visible to you.

To do this, select the passage you want to highlight or attach a note to. A small menu will appear, letting you choose either Highlight or Note.

Your notes and highlights will be saved and will appear whenever you open the document. Refresh the page to see them as soon as you have created them. Delete notes and highlights by clicking the x button.

To manage documents with highlights or notes, go to Folders and then select Documents with marks.
