Part One: Starting Your Personal Collection
- Click on the Star (Save Paper) icon on the article you want to add to your collection.
- This will prompt a pop-up to appear where you can add the article you’ve selected to a brand new collection.
- Or to an existing collection. Any changes will be saved automatically.
- From the homepage, click My Favorites to see your personal collections.
Part Two: Sharing Your Personal Collection
- Click on My Favorites to go to your personal collections.
- Click the Publish button, which will prompt a pop-up with options to change your collection’s name, public visibility settings, and description.
- Once you change your Collection Visibility option to Public, everyone on Read will be able to see this collection but not make any changes.
- Click Save to confirm your changes.
- If you would like to share a personal collection directly to a user or group of users, you can do this through the mobile version of Read. To do this check out Part 2 of the Sharing Your Personal Collection FAQ (Mobile).

This service is hopeless: no explanation what it does, what the 3 application (?) are for, how to used them, which applications to install etc. Click on the star - sure, it will add the page to my favorites in Chrome. How to start personal collection? No idea. home page should clearly explain what it is and how to use it. Citing articles for people who already know is not helpful for people who come here for the first time.
