Tag As You Go
A good organizational system starts at the point of entry. Whenever you add a new item to RevTrove, you can assign multiple tags instantly. Whether it's a research paper tagged with #deep-learning and #paper-to-read, or a design inspiration tagged with #ui-ux and #mobile, this habit ensures every piece of data is categorized from the start. This simple step prevents you from having to sort through a pile of untagged items later, building a structured library organically.
Filter with Precision
Once your items are tagged, finding what you need is effortless. You can instantly filter your library by simply clicking on a tag in the sidebar. For more complex queries, the search bar becomes your best friend. Type a tag name directly into the search field to see all related items. This immediate and intuitive filtering transforms your collection from a static list into a dynamic database that you can query in seconds.
Save Your Views with Snapshots
Imagine you've just performed a complex search, filtering for all 5-star items tagged with #casestudy from the last six months. What if you want to return to this exact view later without re-typing the query? That's where Snapshots come in. A Snapshot is a saved state of your current view—including all active filters, search terms, and sorting. It's like a powerful bookmark for your search results, preserving your context for later.
Instant Access, Zero Repetition
With your Snapshots saved, you can recall complex views with a single click. Just select a Snapshot from your list, and RevTrove instantly restores the exact state you saved. This is incredibly powerful for recurring tasks, such as checking your To-Read list, reviewing high-priority project files, or accessing a specific subset of your research. It eliminates repetitive searching and lets you get right back to where you left off, making your workflow faster and more efficient.
