Read saved articles in Reader
Updated:
If you save the article text when you add a web link, you can read it in Reader without a network connection. You can change the text size and theme to read comfortably.
Open an article in Reader
- Double-click a web link item to open its preview. If you saved the article, it opens in Reader.
- To see the page as a web page, turn off Reader in the bar at the top. To open the page in your browser, click Open in Browser.
For a long article, use Table of Contents in the bar to jump to a heading.
For a web link without a saved article, you can save it from the preview. Open Reader Actions in the bar and choose Save Reader Article. To fetch a saved article again, choose Refresh Reader Article.
