Understanding the Library in Lexlegis

The Library in Lexlegis is the central repository for all reusable resources used across Ask, Interact, and Draft.

It acts as the single source of truth for documents, instructions, standards, and references that power legal research, document analysis, and drafting.

1. What is the Library

The Library is where Lexlegis stores and organises all working material that can be reused across workflows.

It includes the following sections:

• Files
• Prompts
• Question Sets
• AI Rulebooks
• Templates
• Clauses
• Websites
• Tags

Anything you upload, create, or save for reuse is stored within these sections.

2. Why the Library matters

The Library directly impacts the quality and consistency of outputs across the platform.

Lexlegis uses Library content to:

• Ground answers in verifiable material
• Analyse documents in Interact
• Extract data, language, and structure for Draft
• Apply templates, clauses, and drafting standards consistently

A well-organised Library leads to clearer outputs and fewer revisions.

3. What each section is used for

3.1 Files

Store documents such as contracts, pleadings, correspondence, and evidence.

Used in:

• Ask as sources
• Interact for analysis
• Draft for data extraction

3.2 Prompts

Reusable instructions that define how documents should be analysed or processed.

Used in:

• Interact for flexible analysis, insights, and document exploration
• Draft for guided drafting

3.3 Question Sets

Groups of related questions applied together across documents.

Used in:

• Interact for structured review and due diligence

3.4 AI Rulebooks

Define drafting standards, policies, and constraints.

Used in:

• Draft to maintain consistency and compliance

3.5 Templates

Define the structure and layout of legal documents.

Used in:

• Draft to standardise formats and reduce drafting time

3.6 Clauses

Reusable legal clauses and standard provisions for faster, consistent drafting.

Used in:

• Draft to insert standard or required clauses

3.7 Websites

Approved sources for controlled web-based legal research.

Used in:

• Ask to limit research to trusted sources

3.8 Tags

Metadata labels used to organise and filter Library content.

Used for:

• Categorisation and faster search

4. How the Library is Organised

All Library items are stored within folders.

• You must create a folder before adding any item
• Items cannot exist outside a folder
• Files and other items can be added from workflows, but folders are managed within the Library

To learn more, see Creating and Managing Folders in the Library.

5. Key Principles

• The Library does not automatically analyse content
• Files are not used unless selected in a workflow
• Uploading content does not affect existing outputs

The Library remains passive until actively used.

6. Best Practices

• Organise content into clear folder structures
• Use consistent naming conventions
• Avoid mixing unrelated documents
• Keep templates, clauses, and rulebooks structured

Good organisation improves efficiency across all workflows.

7. Maintaining the Library

Regularly review and update your Library:

• Update templates and clauses
• Review AI Rulebooks for relevance
• Archive outdated files
• Clean up folders before major workflows

Maintaining the Library ensures long-term accuracy and performance.
