Selecting Files and Adding to Dossiers

From the Search results, you can select multiple files and add them to a Dossier — a research folder that groups items around a theme or topic.

Entering selection mode​

  1. In the Search results (list or map view), hover over any file
  2. A checkbox appears in the top-left corner of each file card
  3. Click the checkbox to select that file
  4. A selection toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen

Alternatively, click the Select button in the toolbar to enter selection mode, then click files to select them.

Selecting multiple files​

  • Click individual checkboxes to select files one by one
  • Click Select all in the toolbar to select all files matching your current search/filters
  • Click a checkbox again to deselect a file
  • Click Deselect all to clear your selection

Adding selected files to a Dossier​

Once you have files selected:

  1. Click Add to Dossier in the selection toolbar
  2. A panel opens on the right showing your existing Dossiers
  3. Choose an existing Dossier, or click Create new Dossier to make one
  4. Click Add
  5. The selected files are added to the Dossier
tip

You can add files from multiple different searches to the same Dossier. Build up your Dossier gradually by searching for different topics and adding relevant files each time.

Viewing what you've added​

After adding files to a Dossier, click the Dossier's name in the panel (or navigate to Dossiers in the sidebar) to see all the files you've collected.
