A library shaped around UPSC preparation
The UPSC Shelf library starts with optional folder suggestions for GS and Prelims, Mains and answer writing, CSAT, current affairs and revision, and your optional subject. They are a starting structure for your own material, not a prescribed timetable.
Choose any suggestion to open the normal collection form with its name and description filled in. You can edit either field or close it. Shelf creates no folders, topics, or pages until you confirm.
Keep primary sources and your work together
Add NCERTs, standard books, coaching notes, answer copies, and links to your own collection. The same reader keeps highlights, notes, reading progress, and Tutor conversations tied to each document.
Current affairs in Learn remains a separate public catalog. Use it for official-source briefs, then save material you want to annotate or revise inside your personal library.
Start with the material you already use
You do not need to migrate your whole preparation plan at once. Add the PDFs and notes you return to most often, then use separate topics inside a collection when a subject becomes large enough to need them.
For example, GS and Prelims can begin as one collection and later separate into polity, economy, history, geography, environment, and science. This keeps the first setup light while giving you room to organise deeper revision later.
Use a collection for one kind of work
Mains answer-writing material benefits from its own collection because it tends to contain question papers, answer copies, evaluator feedback, essay plans, and model structures. Keeping it apart from passive reading makes it easier to open during a writing session.
CSAT can similarly hold timed practice PDFs, error logs, and short formula or method notes. The names in the starter are only suggestions: change them to match your coaching material or the way you already revise.
Bring a page into the revision plan
Open a document from any collection to highlight it, add notes, or ask Tutor questions grounded in that page. The reader remembers its position, so a long source can be resumed without hunting for the last chapter.
When a source needs another pass, use Schedule from the reader to create a planner task linked directly to that page. Your plan then points back to the exact material rather than a vague reminder to revise a subject.
The structure can grow with your preparation
Collections and topics remain fully editable, so you can begin with broad folders and add paper, subject, month, or test-series sections later. The planner can link reading tasks back to a specific page when it is time to revise.
This UPSC setup uses Shelf's shared library system. Your account and existing files remain available, while the UPSC deployment gives the catalog and Tutor their UPSC context.
