Saving Research to Work Folders

When you're working on multiple projects, you can organize your work by saving your searches, documents, notes, and alerts into folders, so that you can return to them later. The Folders tab allows you to see all of the saved searches you have already created, create new folders, and search your folders to find a document, a section of text, a note, or any other item you have saved to a folder.

Folders are helpful for organizing and sharing relevant documents. You can create folders for various topics or projects, and you can quickly access your folders from the global navigation. Once in the Folder view, you can see folders you created, folders you shared, and folders shared by others. Clicking on a folder will show the documents, searches, or text that have been saved to that folder.

Tip: Under Actions, you can rename, delete, move, or share a folder. Similar to alerts, only an email address is needed to share a folder, but to access the folder the individual must be a Nexis user. When you share a folder, the recipient will get an email letting them know that you have shared a folder with them. They will have 30 days to accept the invitation.
