Dmitry Orlov, Gluing of categories and Krull–Schmidt partners is a very short paper (just 4 pages) that discusses a neat construction of what Orlov calls Krull–Schmidt partners: given a semi-orthogonal decomposition produce a (different) fully faithful functor, giving rise to a possibly new semi-orthogonal complement.
