# Keep Your Best Finds in Your Library

> Bookmark judgments, drafts, and answers to your Library so you can pull them back up in seconds.

New · 17 May 2026

## What changed

The Library is a dedicated space inside Niyam where everything worth bookmarking lands in one organised place. Before this feature, the only path back to a judgment you read several days ago — or a research answer that turned out to be exactly what you needed — was to scroll through history or run the search again. The Library removes that friction entirely by giving you a persistent shelf that grows as you work.

When you bookmark any item, it appears in your Library, grouped by type so you can scan across your collection quickly. Add your own labels to cluster items by matter, client, or area of law. Each saved item carries a direct link back to its original context, so reopening the full document takes one tap rather than a fresh search.

## How to use it

1. While reading a judgment, research answer, or draft, tap the **bookmark icon** to save the item to your Library.
2. Open **Library** from the sidebar to see everything you have collected.
3. Use the type tabs — Judgments, Answers, Drafts — to move between categories without scrolling past unrelated items.
4. Apply a label such as *arbitration* or *limitation period* to group related items across types.
5. Filter by label to pull up everything connected to a particular matter or area of law in one view.
6. Tap any saved item to reopen it in full. Remove the bookmark when you no longer need it.

## Why it matters

Good research builds on itself. The authority you found last week is often useful again when a related question comes up next month — but only if you can reach it without running the same search a second time. The Library turns your best finds into a working set that accumulates quietly while you focus on the matter at hand.

For advocates who return regularly to the same areas of law, this becomes a curated shelf of leading cases and clean draft precedents that sits ready whenever needed. A recurring point on limitation, a familiar indemnity clause, a well-built reply notice — these are the kinds of items that belong in a Library, ready to open rather than search for again.

For a junior advocate building familiarity with a subject, it works equally well as a study collection: save the important decisions, label them by topic, and revisit them before a conference with a senior or a hearing. The Library grows with your practice rather than requiring you to start from scratch each time you need something.

## Good to know

- Saving an item does not copy it. The bookmark points to the original, so the version you open from your Library will always be current, not a snapshot from the day you saved it.
- Labels are private to your account and never affect how items appear to teammates or how anything is shared within a workspace.
- There is no limit on the number of items you can save, so the Library can grow as extensively as your practice requires over time.
- The Library spans all content types: judgments from the corpus, answers from Research, and drafts from the Draft workspace all appear together in one place.
- For team workspaces, the Library is a personal layer inside the shared environment. Each member maintains their own saved items and labels independently of their colleagues.
