Help: Saved Items

What is the Saved Items page?

The Saved Items page lists all the items you have saved to My Archive. It allows you to store items beyond a single session. From the Saved Items page you can view any of the items listed again, email, print, download, or remove items from your list.

What information is shown for each item?

Each item on the Saved Items page consists of:

  • A number to indicate the position of an item in the list. The most recent item added will be at the top of the list
  • Citation information for the item, which includes a link to the Full Text.
  • A Select this item checkbox

When the Saved Items page opens all items in the list will be shown with a colored background and their checkboxes checked to indicate that they are selected ready for emailing, downloading or printing.

Is there a limit to the number of items I can save?

Documents on British Policy Overseas allows you to add a total of 500 items to My Archive: Saved Items. If you already have 500 items and you try to save another you will be prompted to remove some of the items.

The number of saved items for each content category is displayed next to the category links at the top of the Saved Items page and is updated each time an item is added or removed.
