Saves, Collections, and Workspaces

newsence provides three ways to organize content. Start by asking whether the item is something you want to read later, part of a topic you will collect over time, or material for an active research project.

Need Recommended place Why
Read later or keep one public article Personal saves Fastest; no category decision required
Collect material in one field over time Collection Reusable and optionally public
Prepare sources for research or publishing Workspace Resources share context with documents and AI conversations

Articles saved from public feeds enter your personal library and are private by default. You can change the visibility of each saved item. Public saves appear on your profile and in its public saved-content feed.

Adding an article to a Collection does not require making your personal save public. The two visibility settings are independent.

A Collection is a reusable topic library, such as “AI evaluations,” “Taiwan semiconductors,” or “Design references.”

When you create a Collection, set its name, description, and visibility:

  • Public: other people can open it from your profile.
  • Private: only you can view it; requires the Pro plan.

Collections are public by default. Deleting a Collection removes the grouping but does not delete its articles from your personal library. The same rule applies when you remove an article from a Collection.

Each Collection has a Knowledge Wiki view that displays relationships between articles and concepts as a list or graph. A small Collection may not yet have enough data to display any nodes.

A Workspace is a private research project containing:

  • URLs, PDFs, and images needed for the project;
  • content pinned from existing Collections;
  • one or more documents;
  • related AI conversations and audio overviews.

Pinning a Collection does not copy every item into the Workspace. The Workspace keeps a link to the original Collection. Removing that link later does not delete the Collection.

A stable workflow is:

  1. Save everyday reading to your personal library.
  2. Group subjects you follow over time into Collections.
  3. Create a Workspace when you begin a report or research project.
  4. Pin the relevant Collections and add URLs or files specific to this project.

This avoids creating a Workspace for every article or putting every research source into one Collection.
