## **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.<br>

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

## **Notes and highlights**&#x20;

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**.
