On WestlawNext you can save time and easily leverage your prior research by creating a library of folders that you dedicate to individual issues, clients or topics. Be even more efficient using drag and drop to quickly assign information as you go, so when your research is complete, it's already organized.

The Project Folder
The folder that is displayed on the right side of the home page and at the top of all other pages is called the project folder (a.k.a. active folder). To display the contents of the project folder, simply click the folder.

Think of the project folder as a dedicated space for the matter you are researching, where you can organize your research on-the-fly by saving documents of interest, but for later analysis.

Drag and Drop
To drag a document into your project folder: (1) click on the title, (2) hold down your mouse and drag the displayed box to the project folder in the header until the check mark becomes green, (3) drop the document into the folder by releasing the mouse. Once the document is successfully saved to the folder, you will receive a confirmation message.

You can also drag and drop multiple items from a list – simply check the boxes next to the desired documents (or check Select all items) and follow the steps above. Select all items will allow you to select all the documents displayed on the page and then drag them to the project folder simultaneously.

And don't limit use of this feature to just lists. When you are viewing a document, you can also drag and drop linked titles or citations that appear within the text.
