The Library holds every SOP, risk assessment, manual, checklist, and reference document your vessel runs on. It is organised so you only see what is relevant to your role.
Finding documents
Tap the Library tab to see documents grouped by category — Safety, Operations, Interior, Engineering, and so on. Your admin controls which categories you can see based on your department, so the list stays focused.
Searching
Tap the search icon and start typing. Library search looks inside document titles, descriptions, and the body text of PDFs — so you can find a specific SOP even if you do not remember exactly what it is called.
Viewing a document
Tap any document to open it. PDFs render inline — you can pinch to zoom, swipe between pages, and tap headings in the table of contents to jump around. Word documents and images work the same way.
Acknowledging a document
Some documents — typically SOPs for your role — require an acknowledgement that you have read them. Scroll to the bottom and tap I have read and understood. Your acknowledgement is logged with a timestamp.
Updated documents
When an admin uploads a new version of a document you already acknowledged, CrewNotice notifies you and asks you to re-acknowledge. The changelog shows what changed since the last version so you can focus on what is new.
Documents marked with a pin icon are mandatory for your role — prioritise reading those first when you join a new vessel.
Saving for offline
Tap the download icon on any document to save it to your device for offline access. This is essential before heading out of WiFi range — at sea, in a tender, or anywhere coverage is flaky. See Saving Documents for Offline Access for the full guide.
Favourites
Tap the star icon on a document to add it to your Favourites. Your favourites appear at the top of the Library for instant access — a good spot for the documents you check every day.
