An articleset is a set of text document (‘articles’) stored together in AmCAT for use in queries, as codingjobs or other purposes. After choosing a project, go to the Articles tab to find an overview of all articlesets included in that project. Click on a line in the table to go to the articleset overview. From this overview, you can edit several properties of the articleset, draw a sample from the set, or delete the set from the project altogether.
  
An '''articleset''' is a '''set of text documents (‘articles’)''' stored together in AmCAT for use in queries, as codingjobs or other purposes. After choosing a project, go to the '''Articles''' tab on the upper left of the page and click it to find an '''overview of all articlesets''' included in that project. '''Click on an articleset in the table''' to go to the '''articleset overview''' for this set. From this overview, you can '''edit''' several properties of the articleset, draw a '''sample''' from the set, or '''delete''' the set from the project altogether.

As you can see, the overview consist of a table listing all articles included in the set (click a row in the table to see the full text of that article in a new tab), as well as a number of buttons with further options, above the table. These buttons only show up if you have the required [[Managing your AmCAT project users|access rights]]. Let's have a look at the different options.

* Use '''refresh index''' in case you just created this articleset or added new articles to the set, but the articles do not show up in the table.

* '''Deduplicate''' deduplicates the articleset anew. You can choose to '''skip''' article metadata (such as headline, date and page) in the deduplication process. For example, if two articles are exactly the same except for the page number, AmCAT would normally keep both articles when it deduplicates the set, since the page number is different. But if you choose to skip the page number, AmCAT will not consider this difference and remove one of the two articles in the deduplication process of this particular articleset.

* '''Use in another project''' links the set to another project. Make sure you give the '''users''' in this second project at least the ''''Reader' [[3.3:Managing your AmCAT project users|user role]]''' in the current project, or they will not be able to see the texts of the articles in the linked set.

* '''Sample''' draws a '''random sample''' from the articleset, and '''saves this as a new set''' (which you can then assign as a coding job). Choose the '''size''' of the sample, '''name''' the new articleset containing the sample, and click Save. AmCAT then opens the overview screen of the new set. It might be a good idea to '''add a description''' to this new set that specifies '''which original set the sample is drawn from'''. Click '''‘Edit details’''' to do so.

* '''Delete''', the rightmost button, '''deletes the articleset from AmCAT'''. After doing so, it is '''gone forever''' (AmCAT has no recycle bin). So, make sure you (and the other users of the project) are absolutely sure you want to delete the set before doing so.

'''Note''': It is not possible to delete individual articles from an articleset. If you want to do so, [[3.3:Summary#Save_as_Set|create a new articleset]] using the article IDs in the original set minus those that you want to delete. You can enter these IDs as a list in the [[3.3:querying|query]] screen.
