# Organize

## How to find, sort, and clean entries

JabRef is designed to facilitate your workflow.

You can select a subset of entries using the [search bar](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/search). Within a library, you can organize your entries in a tree-like structure made of [group and subgroups of entries](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/groups).

You can add information to an entry using the [entry editor](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/edit-entry), but JabRef can also [complete the information](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/getbibtexdatafromdoi) for you. And JabRef takes care of the [associated files](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/filelinks) (PDF, etc.)

Once your database starts to be large, some tidy-up may be needed. JabRef can [check for the integrity of your entries](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/checkintegrity), [clean them up](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/cleanupentries), [detect duplicated entries](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/findduplicates), help you in [merging 2 entries](https://docs.jabref.org/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/mergeentries).

Hence, your database is always clean and up-to-date.
