Saving documents to My Library

My Library is where you keep the source documents you want to come back to — encyclicals, council documents, the Catechism, theological works, and anything else in our library.

Save a document

  1. Click any citation in an answer, or open a document from the Source Library.
  2. In the document viewer, click the Save button (bookmark icon).
  3. The document is added to My Library → Documents.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church open in the document viewer. The left sidebar shows the Table of Contents (Prologue, Part 1: Profession of Faith, etc.). The main column shows the document body and, in the controls bar above it, a row of icons: a Listen (speaker) button, a Share button, a Save to Library button (open-book with a plus, this is what saves the entire document to My Library), a page Bookmark button, a Cite button, and a Translate button.

Open My Library

  1. Open the sidebar and click My Library.
  2. On the Documents tab, you'll see everything you've saved.

Removing a saved document

  • Open My Library → Documents and click the remove icon on any row.
  • Or re-open the document in the viewer and toggle Save off.

What's different from bookmarking

A saved document is the whole work — all of Laudato Si', for example. If you want to remember a specific paragraph or section, bookmark it as a page instead. See Bookmarking pages in My Library.
