Do you want to learn how to save posts on Facebook? *You’ve come to the right place!*

Using the “Save” feature on these platforms is a great way to compile market research, store content that may inspire your own, or keep track of posts you want to refer back to at a future time.

And in addition to saving posts yourself, it’s great to encourage your audience to save your content too!

One reason for this is because the algorithm favors posts that others have saved, indicating it's relevant content. Plus, seeing your posts being saved is a way for your audience to tell you that what you’re creating is valuable to them!

In fact, our Social Curator caption templates often include “step by step” tutorials... because offering value like that incentivizes people to save the post and reference it another time.

Now that you know why it’s useful to save posts (and to encourage your audience to do the same), it’s time to learn how!

How to Save a Post on Facebook

Once you’ve identified a Facebook post you’d like to save, tap the ellipsis icon

in the top right of the content, then select Save Post, Save Event, Save Link, or Save Video.

It will then prompt you to either save the post to a collection you’ve already created or to tap the + to create a new collection.

You can find your saved posts on Facebook by going to facebook.com/saved while logged in on your browser.

On your mobile app, tap the hamburger menu in the bottom right to go to your profile, then tap the flag icon to save.
