There are three ways to save content on the site: from a search results page, from a resource overview page, and from a resource page. 

In each of these cases, you will use the green Save button to open the save widget and save the resource to one or your private folders or one of your shared group folders. 

Save from Search

You can save content from a resource list such as search results, collection pages, or group folders

  1. Click on the checkbox next to the content you would like to save
