Lists Functionality - Outside of Sessions

Modified on Wed, 19 Feb at 5:56 PM


Feature Name: Lists Management in Contesimal

Feature Overview

The Lists feature in Contesimal enables users to organize, manage, and access structured collections of content related to different sessions. This helps users contextualize and monetize their content by keeping relevant information categorized. Each list can contain list items, which are snippets, notes, search results, or references that contribute to a specific topic or session.

By using the Lists functionality, users can:

  • Organize content from different sessions
  • Track and retrieve relevant data efficiently
  • Edit, delete, and manage their lists and list items
  • Filter lists based on sessions for a more structured workflow
