Is there a difference between a bookmarked page and a saved page?
Navigating through your Scrible library, you'll come across two key terms: "Bookmarked Pages" and "Saved Pages." While they might seem similar at first glance, each serves a unique purpose in enhancing your Scrible experience.
Bookmarked Pages:
- Think of a bookmarked page like a traditional browser bookmark. Here, Scrible stores the URL of the page.
- When you bookmark a page, Scrible tries to fetch the content of that page. This extra step makes it easier to locate the page through a search within Scrible, adding a layer of convenience to your research.
- Bookmarking is great for quickly saving references that you might want to return to later without needing the full suite of annotation tools at that moment.
Saved Pages:
- A saved page is where the Scrible extension shines! It's not just about saving a URL but preserving the entire webpage.
- With saved pages, you unlock the full potential of Scrible’s annotation features. This includes highlighting text, adding comments, and other interactive elements that make your research more dynamic.
- For users with the Edu and Edu Pro plans, there's a bonus: citation information auto-populates for saved pages. This is a real time-saver for academic work or research projects.
Common Ground:
- Both bookmarks and saved pages can be organized with tags, making it easy to categorize and retrieve your research materials.
A Note on Citations:
- While citation info is auto-filled for saved pages in specific plans, for bookmarked pages, you'll need to add this information manually. It's a small step but essential for keeping your research organized and credible.
