[ddj] Question on automatic tools to group and organize documents

Thu Apr 30 14:00:48 UTC 2015

Hi, Aitziber, 

Have you tried Overview? I have only played a little bit with it, but it seems to be a useful tool for managing huge volumes of docs. It also allows you to search through the content of the docs and add tags to them. There is a free tutorial available at Poynter's News University (http://www.newsu.org/node/346317).

Let me know if it helps. 

Best, 

Olaya.
