Using Internal Document Links for Faster Navigation

Summary

Use vLex Library's internal link previews to get context on a citation without leaving your current document. Simply hover over any internal link to see a summary card with key information.

Why This is Important

This feature provides a seamless research experience, saving you time and preventing disruption to your workflow. You can quickly assess the relevance of a cited case or statute without needing to open multiple tabs, keeping your research focused.

How to Use Link Previews

1. While reading any document, locate an internal link (typically blue and underlined).

2. Hover your mouse cursor over the link. Do not click.

3. A small dialogue box will appear, showing a preview of the linked document.

   • For case law, the preview may show citation data and treatment information.

   • For legislation, the preview will show the name of the law and a snippet of text for context.

Hover over any internal link to see an instant preview.

Best Practices & Pro Tips

• Use Previews for Triage: Quickly hover over all the citations in a key paragraph to decide which ones are most relevant and worth opening in a new tab for deeper analysis.
