Social networking site Facebook provides easy access to lots of interesting content. If you have all the time in the world, you can go though this content at your leisure. But what if you don’t have all the time in the world? What if you’re just quickly browsing Facebook to see what’s new and you come across something interesting?

This is where Facebook’s new Save feature comes in. It lets you save interesting items for later. If your mom posted an interesting recipe, you can save it for later. If your friend Bob mentioned an interesting place, you can save it for later. If one of your coworkers mentioned an interesting movie, you can save it for later.

“Every day, people find all sorts of interesting items on Facebook that they don’t have time to explore right away. Now you can save items that you find on Facebook to check out later when you have more time. You can save items like links, places, movies, TV and music. Only you can see the items you save unless you choose to share them with friends,” explained Daniel Giambalvo, Software Engineer at Facebook.

If you use Facebook on the web, you can access your saved items by clicking the Saved button – it’s on your homepage, in the upper left hand corner (if you don’t see it yet, have patience; it’s being rolled out right now).
If you use Facebook for mobile, you need to tap the More tab to access your saved items.

Saved items are organized by category, can be read at your leisure, can be shared with others, and they can be archived. If you saved items in your News Feed, you will be reminded about these saved items.
