How do I use Bookmarks to save posts and profiles?

PostSnag's Bookmarks save an individual post or an entire profile with one click, so you can find it again later without searching or re-scrolling. Posts and profiles each get their own bookmark flag, and everything you save shows up on one page split into three tabs: Posts, Profiles, and By group.

Bookmarking is built for quick, one-off saves, the posts and profiles you want to come back to without setting up a whole collection around them. If you're organizing posts by project, client, or campaign instead, that's what Folders are for. See How do I organize captured posts into Folders?

How to bookmark a post

1. Find the bookmark icon on any post card. Post cards, and their bookmark icon, show up in several places: a profile's own page, Discovery, Bookmarks, Folders, Analytics, and a Facebook Group's Posts tab.

2. Click the bookmark icon once. It fills in solid to show the post is now saved.

3. To remove it later, click the same icon again. It's a toggle, not a one-way action, so there's nothing to undo separately.

Clicking the bookmark icon does not open the post. Clicking anywhere else on the card opens that post on Facebook in a new tab; the bookmark icon is a separate, smaller target so the two actions don't collide.

How to bookmark a profile

You can save a whole profile two ways:

• From a profile card, wherever one appears (the Profiles library, or a Facebook Group's Profiles tab), click the bookmark icon on the card.

• From the profile's own page, click the Bookmark button in the header. It relabels to Bookmarked once saved, and clicking it again removes it.

Bookmarking a profile and bookmarking its posts are separate actions. Saving a profile does not bookmark any of its individual posts, and bookmarking several of a profile's posts does not bookmark the profile itself. Save each on purpose if you want both.

The Bookmarks page: three tabs

Open Bookmarks in the left navigation. Its subtitle sums it up: "Posts and profiles you've saved, browsable by group."

• Posts: a grid of every post you've bookmarked, across every profile and group. Empty state: "No bookmarked posts yet." / "Click the bookmark icon on any post card to save it here."

• Profiles: a grid of every profile you've bookmarked, a separate list from Posts, since profile and post bookmarks don't overlap. Empty state: "No bookmarked profiles yet." / "Click the bookmark icon on any profile to save it here."

• By group: your bookmarked posts regrouped under the Facebook Group each one was captured in, with a View group link on every group header. Bookmarked posts that weren't captured from inside a group land in a separate Not from a group section. This tab reuses the Posts tab's empty-state copy if you have nothing saved.

Switching tabs doesn't change what's bookmarked, only how it's grouped for browsing. A post you bookmarked from inside a Facebook Group shows up in the Posts tab and again under its group's heading in By group; it's the same bookmark viewed two ways.

Common questions

Does bookmarking a profile also bookmark its posts?
No. Posts and profiles have separate bookmark flags. Bookmark each individually if you want both saved.

Can I browse my bookmarked posts by the group they came from?
Yes. The By group tab groups bookmarked posts under the Facebook Group they were captured in, with a link to that group's page. Bookmarked posts with no group land in a Not from a group section.

Where does the bookmark icon actually show up?
On any post or profile card: a profile's own page, Discovery, Bookmarks, Folders, Analytics, and a Facebook Group's Profiles and Posts tabs, plus profile cards on the Profiles library.

How do I remove a bookmark?
Click the same bookmark icon again, on the post card, the profile card, or the Bookmark button on a profile's own page. It unsaves immediately; there's no confirmation step to click through.

What's the difference between Bookmarks and Folders?
Bookmarks are a fast, one-click save on individual posts or profiles, with no naming or organizing involved. Folders are named collections, up to 10, that you build yourself to group posts around a project or topic. See How do I organize captured posts into Folders?
