What can I keep in the Vault?

Every upload and the Study Docs, flashcards and MCQs made from it, plus images, lecture recordings, YouTube lectures and files you chose to store as they are.

Can I keep a file without any AI processing?

Yes. Choose Store only when you upload, or upload straight into the Vault. Stored files can be up to 20 MB each and are kept exactly as they are. See upload.

Can I organise files into folders?

Yes. Create, rename, colour, pin and nest folders, drag them into the order you want, and sort by name, date, size or recent changes.

What happens when I delete something?

It moves to Deleted, where you can restore it or delete it forever. Anything still there after 30 days is removed automatically.

Can I download my original files?

Yes. Every upload keeps its original file, which you can download at any time.

How do exam dates work?

Set an exam date on a document and the flashcards in its folder are rescheduled to fit before the exam. Upcoming exams also appear in your notifications.

Is my Vault private?

Yes. Your Vault is only visible to you. Search covers your own material, and nothing is published unless you choose to share it to the Community Library.
