Jostle Library
Stop losing 25% of the workday to information scavenger hunts*
Library makes it easy to quickly find files, forms, and videos.
*Industry surveys show it's normal for employees to spend 25 to 30% of their time looking for the information they need.
“You can just grab what you need out of the Library and go.”

Why Library works better
One place for information
Library is where everyone goes to find what they need. Policies, guidelines, manuals, and training materials all live in one place, instead of scattered across messy fileshares.
Only your authoritative copies
Library is your single source of truth for employees and AI. It’s curated and doesn’t mix in duplicated or outdated content, so you’ll never find “Budget_final” and “Budget_final_Final” again.
Unbreakable structure
Library locks down your category/topic structure and assigns clear ownership of each topic to its subject matter experts.
Easy to maintain permissions
Library makes it easy to set permissions per topic that are synced to locations, departments, or other employee attributes.
“Library is our go-to location. Whether it’s a template, onboarding document, or policy refresher, it’s all there, and easy to navigate.”
Sam Piper, Communications Manager, Fraser Valley Regional District

FAQs
Why does Library not become a mess the way file shares do?
Unlike fileshares or SharePoint, Jostle Library organizes everything in one place, locks down the category/topic hierarchy (key to preventing things from sprawling and getting disorganized), makes topic ownership clear, makes it easy to set and maintain permissions, allows permissions to be tied to a dynamic group such as “EU Sales team”, and provides a task-driven Scheduled Review process to make sure content does not become stale.
How does the Jostle Library manage permissions?
Jostle Library sets visibility at the topic level, so that it's easy to observe and manage. You can map a topic to a team, department, location, employee type, and/or a list of individuals.
How are group permissions kept up to date?
Throughout Jostle, permissions can be tied to dynamic groups (departments, locations, etc) that sync automatically with your other systems.
How is document ownership managed?
Jostle Library makes it easy to declare your subject matter experts per topic. You can also have topics where everyone able to see it can add and update content.
What happens when a topic owner quits?
All Jostle Library content remains fully accessible. Once a replacement arrives, simply make them the new topic owner.
When I add a file into Library, what happens?
Your uploaded file has its permissions locked down by Library. That’s much more robust than the “rich link” approach used by widgets on intranet pages. Your original file remains where it was. In some cases, you will want to delete this to avoid confusion. In others, you will want to keep it as your “master copy”.
Is Jostle Library mobile-friendly?
Jostle Library is designed to work on your phone. All functions work on the phone, including our built-in viewer.
