## How results are ranked

Results are authority-weighted, not keyword-matched alone. Higher courts and more frequently cited provisions rank first. Each result shows a relevance score and verification status.

## Citation library

Validated citations from research sessions can be saved to your citation library. Click **Save citation** on any result to add it.

To use a saved citation in a document, open the citation library from Research or insert from the document editor.

## Research memos

Generate a structured memo from a research session. Click **Generate memo** on the session detail page. Export the memo as PDF or link it to a matter document.

## Contextual research

Link a research session to a matter or document. Open the session, click **Link to matter**, and select the target. Contextual sessions appear on the matter Research tab.
