Document Library Overview

The Document Library is your central hub for managing all saved writing documents in AcaTrove. Every document you create and save in the Write workspace appears here, along with version history and management tools. Access it at Create > Documents in the sidebar or directly at /documents.

Browsing Documents

The library displays your documents in a scrollable list. Each entry shows:

• Title -- The document's title as you set it in the Write workspace.
• Version info -- The current version number and optional version label (e.g., "v3 - reviewer revisions").
• Content preview -- A snippet from the most recent version, giving you a quick look at the document's content without opening it.

Documents are sorted by last update date, with the most recently modified documents appearing first.

Searching

Use the search bar at the top of the library to filter documents by title. Type any portion of the document name, and the list updates in real time to show only matching results. This is a title-based search -- for full-text search across document content, use the global search feature or the Research AI Panel.

Creating New Documents

Click the New Document button to open the Write workspace with a blank document. You can also create documents from templates by navigating to the Write page and selecting the Templates tab.

Opening Documents

Each document entry provides two actions:

• Manage -- Opens the document detail page at /documents/[id], where you can view version history, manage metadata, and perform administrative actions.
• Open -- Launches the document directly in the Write workspace for continued editing.

Version History

AcaTrove maintains a complete version history for each document. Every time you save, a new version is created with:

• A sequential version number
• An optional label you can set to describe what changed
• A timestamp
• A content snapshot

You can view and restore previous versions from the document management page. This ensures you never lose earlier drafts and can compare changes over time.

Connecting to the Write Workspace

The Document Library and the Write workspace are tightly integrated. Documents you save in Write appear immediately in the library. Opening a document from the library loads it in Write with the full editor, AI assistance, and research context features available.

Tips

• Use descriptive titles when saving documents. The title is the primary way you will find documents later in the library.
• Set version labels for significant milestones (e.g., "pre-review draft" or "final submission"). This makes it easy to find and restore important versions.
• Use the Manage page for documents you want to review without editing. The Open button takes you directly into the editor.
• Check the library regularly to keep your document collection organized. Move documents you no longer need to the trash to keep the list clean.
