When you add a modern page to a site, you add and customize web parts, which are the building blocks of your page. This article focuses on the Saved for later web part.
Users can "save" pages, news posts, and documents to view later in SharePoint. They can then easily view what they saved with the Saved for later web part.
Notes:
-
Only pages and news posts can be saved for later in the browser. In the SharePoint mobile app, you can also save documents for later.
-
Save for later is not supported for Guest users. They may be able to select Save for later, but the item won't be saved.
To remove saved items, page viewers can select the Saved for later button in the Saved for later web part. Items can also be removed by selecting the Saved for later button at the bottom of a SharePoint page or by selecting the option in a Document Library. Any of these options removes the items from their list of saved items, not just the items shown in the web part.
Note: This web part is not available in SharePoint Server, U.S. Government GCC High and DoD, and Office 365 operated by 21Vianet.
