5. Tips for Keeping Track of Your Saved Posts
Organize Content
Responsible curation of online content requires organization. Create categories or folders to store content in. Determine which criteria to use to sort and save content in separate areas. These criteria can include sources, topics, authors, or dates. Once content is logically stored, it is easier to find, reference, and reuse. Keeping a neat and organized repository will bring the most out of saved content.
Create an Email Subscription
One of the easiest and most efficient ways to stay on top of content is to create a daily email subscription for the sources that post regularly. This way you can scan new posts quickly and decide if any content qualifies for a save. This process relieves the burden of manually scanning through sources for new content.

These tools offer sophisticated interfaces with easy to use filters, organization systems, and archiving capabilities. They allow users to quickly search and sort large repositories of content with minimal effort. Some popular tools include:
