Westlaw AU Tip - How to Save a Snippet

Westlaw AU enables you to save a section of text within a document as a Snippet to your folders for easier identification of important information or reference.  A snippet is a section of text which may include a quote, legal principal and/or relevant text. Snippets are saved to a folder and when you click on a saved snippet it will take you directly to that section of the document referenced.

How to Save a Snippet
Step 1: Log onto Westlaw AU with your OnePass.

Step 2: From the Home Page or an Advanced Search template conduct a search and open a document.

Step 3: Select the text you wish to save as a snippet by left mouse clicking and running your mouse over the selected the text.  Release the mouse and choose the Snippet option from the pop up menu list.
