 ## Workflows
 
+### Review the current portfolio
+
+Read [saved portfolio and families](references/saved-portfolio.md). List accessible applications and granted patents using `search` without a query and follow pagination. Use structured `family` overviews when returned, then `fetch` selected members for detail. Keep the innovation pipeline and competitor references separate unless requested. Summarise the saved families, jurisdictions, recorded statuses, priority provenance, coverage limits and gaps; do not perform writes for a review-only request.
+
 ### Import a single patent
 
 Use a complete publication number, including country and kind code. If the user provides an incomplete identifier or an application number, resolve the intended publication first. `search_public_patents` accepts an exact `publicationNumber` search on its own, without `query` or `assignee`.

 Lightbringer automatically attempts family grouping when own patents are imported, including relationships to patents imported earlier. A normal single or portfolio import does not need a separate refresh step.
 
-Use `refresh_patent_family` for selected saved own patents when available records or the user indicate a missing relationship, a result reports that family grouping did not finish, or the user requests a check against newer public family information. Resolve the affected records with `search` and `fetch`, or use IDs returned by import. Read [import and refresh](references/import-and-refresh.md) for the limits and interpretation of refresh results.

 Refresh can add missing relationships; it cannot remove an incorrect existing relationship. It also does not identify additional publications to import. Explain these limits when the requested correction or discovery cannot be completed with the available tools.
 
 ### Update an existing portfolio
 
-Repeat discovery for the selected assignees to find additional publications. Compare with available saved records and import the selected additions; their family grouping is attempted automatically. Use the family workflow above only when a separate refresh is warranted. This performs the requested update now; it does not create a monitoring schedule.
