# 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](/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/search.md). Within a library, you can organize your entries in a tree-like structure made of [group and subgroups of entries](/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/groups.md).

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

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

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