Review, filter, and route clips
Use the clips workspace to sort signal from noise and move good material into the right page or topic.
Review, filter, and route clips
What this page is for
The clips workspace is where raw saved material stops being a pile and starts becoming signal. Use this screen when you need to decide:
- what is worth keeping
- what belongs to which page
- what should become a topic connection
- what should be ignored
The clips workspace model
Thinkly clips are not a final library. They are working material.
That means the workspace is designed for movement:
- review clips
- filter by topic or tag
- inspect the source
- route strong clips into pages
- leave weak clips behind
Step by step
- Open the clips workspace.
- Filter by the workflow or topic you are actively working on.
- Review titles, source, and clip content.
- Send strong clips into a specific page.
- Leave weak, duplicate, or low-context clips out of the main workflow.
UI reference
Filters
Filters are for narrowing to the exact slice of material you can act on now. If the list is too broad, tighten the scope before you review.
Detail panel
Open the clip detail when you need to confirm source quality, tags, or page assignment. This is where the clip becomes trustworthy enough to reuse.
Bulk actions
Use bulk actions only when a set of clips clearly belongs together. Bulk moves are efficient, but they are easiest to get wrong when the clips are only loosely related.
Good routing decisions
Route a clip into a page when:
- it supports the same memo or output
- it strengthens an argument you are building
- it adds evidence you expect to revisit
Do not route a clip just because it is interesting.
Common mistakes
- Reviewing too many clips in one pass.
- Keeping low-signal clips in active pages.
- Using the same page as a catch-all destination.
