# Websites

## What is the Websites section?

Websites is a read-it-later service built into sideBar. Save any web page and it
is stored in full: the title, domain, favicon, full page content, and estimated
reading time. Saved pages are available to read offline on devices that have
already cached them and to sideBar, so you
can ask questions about them, summarise them, or use them as context for
anything else you are working on.

## How do I save a web page?

There are three ways:

* **Share sheet**: tap the share button in any app and choose sideBar to save
  the current page instantly. If the app is already open, the website appears
  there immediately while sideBar finishes saving it.
* **Safari extension**: tap the sideBar button in your Safari toolbar to save
  without leaving the page. If the app is already open, the website appears
  there immediately while sideBar finishes saving it.
* **Manual entry**: tap **+** in the Websites tab and paste or type the URL.

See [Widgets and Extensions](/manual/extensions) for instructions on setting up
the share extension and Safari extension.

## What happens after I save a page?

sideBar fetches the page and extracts the title, domain, full content, and
reading time automatically. If a publication date is detectable, that is saved
too. The whole process takes a few seconds. When processing finishes, the page
appears in your Websites list and is ready to open straight away. If something
goes wrong, sideBar tells you whether the page was queued for later or failed
to save.

## What does "saved for later" mean in the share sheet?

It means the URL was added to sideBar's save queue. sideBar then finishes
fetching and processing the page in the app. If the app is already open, the
queued website appears there immediately. Open sideBar, sign in if needed, and
the app will finish saving the page.

## Can sideBar work with saved pages in chat?

Yes. With a page open, sideBar can see its full content. Ask it to summarise the
article, explain a concept, pull out key points, draft notes, or find related
information. You can also reference saved pages in chat without having one open,
and sideBar can search across your saved content when it is relevant.

## Can I read saved pages offline?

Yes, once that device has cached the page. sideBar also has access to the
cached content offline, so you can work with a page in chat without
connectivity.

If a page has never been cached on the current device yet, sideBar lets you
know it is not available offline there.

## Does sideBar support YouTube videos?

Yes. Saving a YouTube URL triggers automatic transcript extraction. Once ready,
the transcript is stored alongside the video's title and metadata. You can then
ask sideBar to summarise the video, pull out key points, or answer questions
about it, without watching it.

## How do I manage my saved pages?

* **Pin** pages you return to often; they stay at the top of the list.
* **Archive** pages you are done with; they are not deleted and can be restored
  at any time.
* **Rename** any page by tapping its title.
* **Delete** removes the page permanently.

You can also swipe right on any page to archive or unarchive it, or swipe left
to delete it.

## Can I search my saved pages?

Yes. Search matches against page titles, domains, and full page content. It is
a useful way to find something when you cannot remember exactly where you saved
it.

## Can I export or share a saved page?

Yes. From any saved page you can export it as a markdown file, or copy the
title, URL, or full markdown content with a single tap.

## Do saved pages sync across my devices?

Yes. Saved pages and their content sync across every device where you are
signed in to sideBar. If you save a page while offline, the save queues on that
device and syncs automatically once it reconnects.
