Use these best practices to get the most value from libraries in Epiq AI and ensure consistent, high‑quality results across workflows.

Plan libraries before you run workflows

  • Build libraries before running workflows whenever you already know key people, organizations, or prompt content.
  • Treat libraries as shared inputs, not workflow‑specific fixes.
  • Start with high‑confidence entries to avoid introducing noise early.

Use the right library type

  • Person libraries. Use for known individuals who are likely to appear repeatedly in the data.
  • Organization libraries. Use for known companies, firms, domains, or other organizations.
  • Prompt libraries. Use for approved, reusable prompt text that should remain consistent across workflows.
Do not mix content types across libraries. Each library type serves a distinct purpose.

Keep entries clean and normalized

  • Use a single, canonical version of each person or organization name.
  • Avoid duplicate entries that represent the same entity.
  • Remove outdated or incorrect entries during periodic reviews.
  • Prioritize clarity over completeness. Large, unreviewed libraries can reduce accuracy.

Update libraries during review cycles

  • Add new people or organizations discovered during workflow review.
  • Feed corrected workflow output back into libraries where appropriate.
  • Update prompt libraries when prompt guidance changes or improves.
  • Treat library maintenance as part of the review process, not a one‑time setup step.

Reuse libraries across workflows and matters

  • Share libraries across workflows that involve the same participants or objectives.
  • Reuse prompt libraries to enforce consistent instructions and outputs.
  • Avoid creating duplicate libraries for the same purpose unless required by data separation needs.

Version and govern prompt libraries carefully

  • Store only approved or validated prompt content in prompt libraries.
  • Make prompt changes deliberately and document the reason for changes outside the library if required.
  • Avoid experimental or workflow‑specific prompts in shared prompt libraries.

Review libraries regularly

  • Schedule periodic reviews to:
    • Remove duplicates
    • Correct errors
    • Retire unused entries
  • Validate that libraries still reflect current matters and workflows.
