How to save useful links before closing your tabs
Before closing a group of tabs, decide which pages you want to return to. Save those links with clear titles, and leave a short note when the reason for keeping a page is not obvious.
Decide which pages are worth keeping
Go through one group of tabs at a time. Close duplicate pages and searches that no longer matter. Keep the pages that answer a question, help with a project or contain something you want to revisit.
A search results page may change. If one result is what you need, open and save that page instead.
Save the links into a list
In Fancies, create a list with a name you will remember, then choose Add item and paste one link. Give it a clear title and save it.
Repeat for the other pages you want to keep. This is a manual process: Fancies does not collect all your open tabs from the website.
Write down where to pick up
A page may be long, or only one part may matter. Leave a note such as “Try the second recipe” or “Compare the dimensions with the shelf at home”.
For unfinished research, write the next question you need to answer. That is often more useful than trying to summarize everything on the page.
Check that the saved link opens the right page
Open the link from your list before closing the original tab. Some pages depend on a sign-in, a temporary search or an unfinished form.
Saving a URL does not save your form entries, login state or the full page. Keep anything you need from an unfinished task using the original site’s own save option.
Make the list easy to return to
Use a Links only list if the pages do not need prices. You can add short notes or images, but a title and working link are enough.
When you come back, remove pages that no longer help. Fancies does not preserve an offline copy, so a page that disappears from its original site may no longer open.
