The Home page is where you start your day. It shows every project you have access to in one view, with the metadata you need to find your way: who owns it, who else has access, what it’s about, and when it was last touched.

Home’s search bar only filters project names, not chats or docs. Hit Cmd+K; global Search indexes every chat, file, Review, and Discovery.

​
What you see on Home

Every project is a card with the same fields, so you can scan a long list quickly.
FieldWhat it shows
OwnerThe person who created the project.
AccessWho else can see it: a specific team, “everyone in your organisation”, “just me”, or a list of named colleagues.
ClientThe client this matter belongs to. Optional.
Practice areaThe area of law (e.g. M&A, Employment Law, Compliance & Risk).
CreatedWhen the project was created.
Last activityA relative timestamp (“3 minutes ago”, “4 months ago”).

​
The four tabs

The list narrows down with the four tabs at the top of the page.
Every project you have access to. Default view.
Projects shared with one or more people. Useful for finding work you’re collaborating on.
Projects only you can see. Solo work and drafts.
Projects that have been archived. They don’t clutter the active list, but everything in them, including chats, documents, Reviews, and Discoveries, is preserved and accessible.

​
Finding a project

Three ways to narrow down the list, depending on what you’re looking for.
1

Search by name

Type any part of the project name into the search bar at the top of the page. The grid filters live as you type.Home page with active search filtering results
2

Sort by what matters

Use the Sort by dropdown to switch between Recent activity, Created date, Name, and Practice area.Home page with the project list sorted by recent activity
3

Star the ones you use most

Click the star icon on any project card. Starred projects float to the top of the list, regardless of activity.Project card with star icon and three-dot menu
Stars persist across devices. A project you starred on your laptop will still be at the top when you open Libra on your tablet.

​
Project actions

Hover over a project card or open the three-dot menu in the corner to act on it without opening it first.
Click anywhere on the card. Libra switches to that project: Chat, Discovery, Review, and Documents in the sidebar all update to reflect the new active project.
Change the project name, the client, the practice area, or the description. Useful if you spelled something wrong, or the matter changed nature.
Open the sharing settings to add or remove people without entering the project first. See Sharing & access for details.
Move a finished project to the Archived tab. Anything inside it is preserved and can be restored.
Remove the project permanently. You’ll be asked to confirm. Once deleted, the project’s contents are gone.
Deleting a project is permanent. If you might want the work back later, archive it instead.

​
Creating a new project

The + Create new button is always visible at the top right of Home.
1

Click Create new

A dialog opens for the basics: project name, client (optional), practice area (optional), description (optional).New project dialog showing name, client, practice area, and description fields
2

Set sharing

Choose who can see the project: yourself only, specific people, a team, or everyone in your organisation. You can change this later.
3

Open the new project

Libra creates the project and switches into it. The sidebar updates; you can start a chat, upload documents, or run a Review immediately.Sidebar showing project sections after the new project opens

Tips for organising Home well

Stars are the fastest way to keep one or two active matters at the top of your list, even when other projects show recent activity.
The moment a matter closes, archive its project. It clears your active list without losing any of the work.
Setting a practice area on every project means the Sort by Practice area view actually groups them, which is useful for partners reviewing the spread of work.
Project names show up in Search results too. “NDA review for Acme Corp” is much easier to find later than “Project 4”.
