Central Library in Eve
Last updated: September 30, 2026
Overview
Central Library holds files that apply across matters rather than to one case: legal research, expert materials, damages and verdict information, judgments, prior expert depositions, a firm style guide.
Anyone in the firm can use its files. Only Firm Admins can add to it or organize it.
How It Is Organized
Files sit in collections, which are folders grouping related documents by topic, practice area, or document type.
Firm Admins create collections, upload files, and manage the library. Everyone else selects from it.
Where It Appears
In a matter, in the Library section under the chat box next to Matter Files. Files are selected from here before asking a question or running an agent, so firm reference material sits alongside the case documents for that run.
When running an agent that can draw on firm context, Central Library appears as an optional context source alongside matter files.
Where It Does Not Appear
Leads. A lead has no access to Central Library files.
Medical Overview. It does not pull Central Library files.
Limits
20,000 files across all collections, for the whole firm.
Search covers file names only. The content inside a file is not searchable from the library, so file naming is what makes a large library usable.
Accepted types are the same set Eve accepts elsewhere: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, VTT, JPEG, PNG, EML, MSG, WAV, MP3, and others.
Key Terms
Collection: A folder in Central Library grouping related documents.
Library: The section inside a matter, under the chat box next to Matter Files, where Central Library files are selected.
