Curation is a process through which an organization facilitates the sharing, maintenance, and publication of documents as knowledge assets. These documents might be purpose-built knowledge assets such as guides and templates. They might be documents produced during knowledge activities, such as presentations and training sessions, or they might be examples of iManage Work, that can be reused by others.

The nature of knowledge assets depends on how you manage knowledge as an organization. Organizations with dedicated knowledge teams tend to prioritize purpose-built assets, whereas those without such teams might rely more on users sharing the work product of their day-to-day activities.

The curation process implements a knowledge workflow that involves a set of predefined stages—submit, reject, update, publish (and unpublish), and retire. All documents within this workflow are stored in iManage Work, and when documents are set to the published state, they'll be visible to all users in iManage Insight+.

This workflow is available only for a library you choose as a knowledge library in iManage Control Center (it isn't available for other transactional libraries). To use this flow for different groups or departments, put the knowledge assets in a knowledge library into different areas.

As part of your Insight+ subscription, you are provided with relevant Microsoft Power Automate templates that drive this flow. Customize these templates if you have requirements unique to your organization—for example, notifications and approvals.
