# Reading history & bookmarks

> Save articles to return to and keep an automatic history of what you read.

Welcome.AI keeps track of content two ways: bookmarks you save deliberately, and reading history that's recorded automatically. One is for everyone signed in; the other is Plus.

## At a glance

- Two ways to track content: bookmarks you save manually, and reading history recorded automatically.
- Bookmarks are available to every signed-in user, free or Plus — save from any content page (`/content/...`).
- Reading history is Plus-only and tracked automatically as you read, most recent first.
- Both are collected on [/dashboard](/dashboard); history also helps briefings avoid repeating what you've seen.

## Bookmarks

Bookmarks let you save an article to come back to later. Bookmarking is available to every signed-in user, free or Plus.

1. Open any content page (`/content/...`).
2. Select the save button to bookmark it.
3. Select it again to remove the bookmark.

Your saved content is collected on [/dashboard](/dashboard).

## Reading history

Reading history is a running list of the articles you've opened, most recent first — recorded automatically as you read, with no action needed. It's a Plus-only feature: history is tracked and shown only for Plus users.

Articles summarized by your [Catch Me Up](/docs/catch-me-up) briefings are recorded in your history too, so your digests and briefings avoid repeating what you've already seen.

## Bookmarks vs reading history

| | Available to | How it's added |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Bookmarks | All signed-in users | You save articles manually |
| Reading history | Plus only | Tracked automatically as you read |

For everything else Plus adds, see the [Plus overview](/docs/plus-overview).
