Collections

Use collections to organize documents by investigation, beat, or source.

Scanned documents

Insight extracts the text already embedded in PDFs. Scanned pages without embedded text can be stored and shared, but their contents will not be searchable; Insight does not currently perform OCR.

Sharing and access

Sharing a collection generates a ticket. Anyone with that ticket can access the collection, so treat it like a password.

Peers exchange documents and extracted text directly, without a central document server. Recipients get full copies that work offline; search indexes and conversations remain local. Peers must be able to connect to exchange data.

Access cannot be revoked. A recipient keeps any data already received and may continue syncing with other peers. Share sensitive collections only with people you trust, and create a new collection if you need to restrict future access.
