# Library

Keep your research assets organized and ready to reuse.

**Workflows used in analyses, outputs saved from Studio, and uploaded data files are all stored in the Library** — so your research assets accumulate as your project grows. Anything saved here can be retrieved and reused in future analyses at any time.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Library is project-specific.
{% endhint %}

***

## 1. Workflows

Store and manage workflows that can be applied to analyses. You'll find workflows extracted from papers, manually written ones, and those automatically saved during AI analyses.

Click any workflow in the list to view its name and full details in the right panel.

### 1.1. Adding a Workflow

There are two ways to add a new workflow to the Library.

#### **1.1.1. Add manually**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Click \[Add manually].**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enter a workflow name and content.**

Write freely — analysis steps, tools, parameters, and anything else relevant.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click \[Add].**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### **1.1.2. Extract from Paper**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Click \[Extract workflow from paper].**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Upload a PDF of the paper.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click \[Extract workflow].**

The AI reads the paper's Methods section and extracts the analysis workflow automatically, saving it to the Library.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Use paper extraction to instantly reuse the exact analysis protocol from a published study — without manually reading through the Methods section.
{% endhint %}

### 1.2. Editing a Workflow

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Select the workflow from the list.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click \[Edit] in the right panel.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Update the name or content, then click \[Save changes].**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only the person who added the workflow can edit it.\
Team members can view the workflow but cannot make changes.
{% endhint %}

### 1.3. Duplicating and Deleting

Use the **\[More]** button on each list item or the buttons at the bottom of the right panel.

* **Duplicate**: Creates a copy of the workflow. Anyone can duplicate, regardless of ownership.
* **Delete**: Removes the workflow. Only the owner can delete.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleted workflows cannot be recovered.

If the workflow was used in an analysis, that analysis may no longer be reproducible under the same conditions. Review carefully before deleting.
{% endhint %}

***

## 2. Studio Files

Outputs you've saved to the Library from Studio are stored here.

The following output types can be saved:

<table><thead><tr><th width="210.62109375">Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Paper Method</strong></td><td>Draft Methods section for publication</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Slides</strong></td><td>Presentation deck of analysis findings</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Report</strong></td><td>Comprehensive results report</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Literature</strong></td><td>Related paper search results</td></tr></tbody></table>

Click any item in the list to preview the file in the right panel.

#### Downloading and Deleting

Use the **\[More]** button or the buttons at the bottom of the right panel.

* **Download**: Save the file locally. Anyone can download, regardless of ownership.
* **Delete**: Remove the file from the Library. Only the owner can delete.

{% hint style="info" %}
Deleting a file from the Library does not affect the original analysis or its chat history.\
As long as the original analysis still exists, you can regenerate the output from Studio.
{% endhint %}

***

## 3. Uploaded Files

Data files used in analyses are stored here — whether uploaded directly to the Library or saved from an analysis using **\[Save to Library]**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Files saved in the Library can be loaded into any analysis via **\[Import from Library]**.\
This is especially useful when the same dataset is used across multiple analyses.
{% endhint %}

### 3.1. Uploading a File

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Click \[Upload file].**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select a file or drag and drop it.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click \[Upload files].**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The total size of all uploaded files must not exceed **1 GB**.
{% endhint %}

### 3.2. Downloading and Deleting

Use the **\[More]** button on each list item.

* **Download**: Save the file locally. Anyone can download, regardless of ownership.
* **Delete**: Remove the file from the Library. Only the owner can delete.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Deleted files cannot be recovered.\
Deleting a file may affect analyses that are currently using it — check before proceeding.
{% endhint %}
