Organize bookmarks, files and research

Private folders and public collection pages

A collection is a folder that can contain saved web bookmarks, preserved images, account PDFs and direct child collections without merging their underlying source or file authority. New collections start Private. Library shows each folder's current Private, Unlisted or Public state beside its name, and a private folder has no public route or embed.

Public is an explicit publishing choice. A Public collection on a Public profile receives a read-only collection page and portable embed containing only independently eligible bookmarks and direct public subcollections. Anyone can view that page without signing up, but cannot edit it. Unlisted instead creates one high-entropy revocable link absent from the profile and discovery; anyone holding that exact link receives the same no-account, read-only boundary, and it is never treated as Public.

1. Open Library and choose New collection; Private is selected unless you deliberately choose Public.
2. Open the folder, review its bookmarks and nested folders, then use Collection settings to change its name, icon, description or visibility.
3. After choosing Public, open the public page and confirm its bookmark and subcollection contents before sharing. Choose Create access link for a unique Unlisted URL, copy the one-time secret, and rotate or disable it when access should change.

Classify and refine with freeform tags

Use tags for a subject, approach, status, evaluation or personal workflow such as to-read. Every tag belongs to the signed-in owner's private vocabulary. A bookmark or research object can keep up to 100 existing memberships—covering a ten-tag workflow with room to grow—and one editor can normalize or reuse up to 20 new comma-separated names at a time.

One selected tag refines the whole All Materials index or one active collection. Selecting several uses match-all semantics: an object must carry every chosen tag. Tag View groups the loaded filtered page by vocabulary and may repeat one multi-tag object without inflating the unique object count.

1. Open an object's Tags editor, check existing labels or type new names separated by commas, then choose Save tags.
2. Select one tag in All Materials; select more to require the complete set. Keep a collection active to refine only that folder.
3. Open the same editor, uncheck a membership and save. Delete a vocabulary label separately only when it should disappear from the owner Library.

Collections and tags

Collections can nest and carry bounded semantic icons. One owner tag vocabulary spans publications, preserved images, private account PDFs, notes and highlights; selecting several tags requires every one.

Choose existing tags or enter up to 20 new comma-separated names directly in an item's tag editor. New account tags are case-insensitively reused and assigned in the same owner-private transaction.

1. Create a tag separately, or open an item's Tags editor and enter new names beside the existing vocabulary.
2. Save the exact membership, then filter the whole Library or one collection by one or several match-all tags.
3. Inside a collection, drag a bookmark onto another folder or use the equivalent keyboard form.

Edit a bookmark without replacing its source

All Materials gives each publication, preserved image and PDF an explicit Edit bookmark destination. A publication stores display title, author and description as personal overrides while its URL, extracted reading and saved versions keep their source identity. A saved image can change title, alternative text and tags while its bitmap, checksum, upload/web provenance and source page remain fixed.

A PDF may have one display name in private account storage and another on this device. Each edit normalizes the .pdf suffix in its own authority. Opening either copy may advance its honest last-opened chronology, but never imports the other copy's name or changes original bytes, SHA-256 identity, source URL, annotations or cloud research revision.

1. From All Materials, choose Edit bookmark on the exact object.
2. Edit display metadata, then save tags or collections through their separate controls.
3. For an account-plus-device PDF, review and edit either named copy independently on the PDF shelf.

Saved image repository

Save an eligible extracted figure from Composer or upload an owned PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF up to 8 MB. Saved images retain their source-page provenance when applicable and share one searchable, sortable and taggable browser Library.

Open Saved images to edit the title, alternative text and tags, change public-collection eligibility, download the bitmap or permanently delete it. The local product tour previews a selected device file through a browser-only Blob and leaves metadata editable, but labels account save, visibility and delete actions unavailable until private storage is configured.

1. Open Library, then Saved images.
2. Choose an owned bitmap or preserve an eligible Composer figure.
3. Search, filter by tag or sort the repository; edit its details before using the image as a bookmark cover or collection file.

Order and deletion intent

A mixed collection privately orders web publications, preserved images and account PDFs as one sequence. Archive is organizational. Trash is reversible, revokes active shares and must precede permanent deletion.
