# Find Related Content While You Read

### Summary

Learn how to find **vLex related documents** instantly while you read. Our **contextual legal research** tool, available in the **Related** tab, helps you **find similar cases** and other materials without ever leaving the document viewer, keeping your research workflow seamless.

### Why This is Important

Maintaining your research momentum is key to efficiency. This powerful feature allows you to instantly run a **Find Related Documents** analysis on any document you are currently viewing on the vLex platform. It eliminates the need to copy and paste text or re-upload files, allowing you to explore connections and discover new authorities without breaking your concentration.

### Step-by-Step Guide

#### Step 1: Open the Related Tab

When you are viewing a document on the vLex Library, look for the **Related** tab in the analysis panel, typically located to the right of the document text.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Interfaz en Español" %}

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

#### Step 2: Review the Initial Results

Vincent will automatically analyze the document you are reading and present a list of related materials, just as it does in the main **Find Related Documents** workflow.

#### Step 3: Refine Your Results with **Focus Results**

To get even more precise results, use the **Focus Results** panel. This powerful tool allows you to tell Vincent exactly what kind of connections you are most interested in.

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Use the Focus Results panel to refine your results by connection type.

**How to Use Focus Results:**

* **Cited Authorities (Left Column):** Find documents that are directly connected through citations (e.g., cases that cite your document).
* **Conceptual Matches (Center Column):** Find semantically similar documents that focus on the same points of law, even if they don't share citations.
* **Thematic Connections (Right Column):** Widen your search to find documents based on the broader legal themes present in your document.
  {% endhint %}

### Best Practices & Pro Tips

* **Use as a Discovery Tool:** The "Related" tab is the perfect tool for exploring the context around a single, important document you've found in your research.
* **Start Broad, Then Refine:** Let Vincent provide the initial broad list of suggestions, then use the "Direct Vincent" checkboxes to narrow your focus to the most relevant materials.
