Content library

Overview

The content library stores reusable phrasing from past bids β€” executive summaries, methodology paragraphs, compliance statements, and boilerplate you trust. Your team and Flow Writer / document editor AI pull from these entries when drafting new submissions, keeping tone consistent and reducing rewrite time.

Entries are team-scoped β€” not shared across teams. Distinct from Document templates (structured layouts with variables) and from Human resources (people profiles).

Tip: Before a major pursuit, confirm you have:

  • Captured winning paragraphs from your last similar bid

  • One theme per entry (better AI retrieval than mega-pastes)

  • Accurate source labels for provenance

  • Pruned outdated regulatory phrasing after legal changes

  • Tested retrieval via document editor Content library panel

Important: Content library does not replace tender-specific compliance β€” always adapt snippets to current requirement text.

Best practices

  • Store winning paragraphs β€” not entire 40-page PDFs in one entry

  • Tag source accurately for editors auditing provenance

  • Keep entries focused β€” one theme per row

  • Review after regulatory changes (GDPR, procurement law)

  • Do not store confidential third-party text without rights


Permissions

Team members with knowledge access can view. Create/edit may require administrator per team policy.
