Collections: setting up your knowledge bank

  • Updated

What are collections?

CiteRight allows you to save authorities into groups and share them across your firm. We call these groups "collections" rather than folders because one case can belong to more than one collection. These are especially useful in the creation of new files. Creating one and sharing it with the relevant stakeholders for that file will allow you and your colleagues to access the most recent cases at any given time.
