and then click Save
A pop-up confirmation will appear. Access saved items anytime by clicking on Workspace.
Click on Workspace to access folders and saved materials. Click on a folder to view the resources it contains.
How do I share my folder, export photos, cite, or add notes? From within a folder, you can find a link to share that folder (the link at the top of the browser will not work). You can also export the material to PowerPoint or a Zip file. And you can see tools below each image, such as how to add a note to the image or cite the image.
