General learning on Shelf

The current Shelf app shows general learning material in Explore. Exam-track choices and news/current-affairs entry points are hidden while separate goal-focused experiences are prepared.

Search the general collections and open an article in the reader. Highlights, notes, stars, and mark done stay on your account. Saving a copy is only needed when you want the file in a personal collection.

Your saved material stays yours

Existing accounts switch to the General study goal when they sign in or refresh their session. This changes the account preference only: saved pages, collections, highlights, and notes are preserved, including exam material you already saved.

Tutor follows your material

Tutor uses general learning context rather than assuming a particular exam. You can still ask exam-related questions and attach a syllabus or relevant notes when that is what you want to study.

Goal selection is hidden in onboarding and settings. Reading targets, themes, and the rest of your personal library tools remain available.

/learn vs /my-content

Your private library lives at /my-content — uploads you control. /learn hosts admin-published curriculum: subject trees, official reading lists, and shared PDFs for competitive exams.

The catalog file stays shared. Your highlights, notes, stars, and mark done are stored on your account and loaded when you open that file. Save to library when you want a private copy in /my-content.

Subject and topic trees

Using curriculum with your library

Read a /learn page in the same reader chrome as your uploads. Highlight, annotate, and ask Tutor without copying the file. Save a copy when you want it in a personal collection.

Build personal collections for mocks and notes; use /learn for baseline material you should not have to hunt on Telegram.

SEO and sharing

Public curriculum pages are indexable — useful for students finding structured free content. Your /my-content pages stay private unless you explicitly share.
