My Library Guide
Introduction:
With the My Library service, users can now bookmark articles, video and audio such as podcast episodes to their personal My Library.
These can then be watched and listened to, directly within the My Library, and it is easy for users to reference the articles for future reading.
We have added the bookmark functionality to our core templates and design elements.
The bookmarking action is simple and instant with one click to bookmark and one to remove.
Overview:
The My Library screen is listed under My Account for users to review their bookmarked articles, video and audio. Users will be able to save content from their respective listing and detail pages.
