Find something you saved, even if you forgot the title

A useful source should not disappear into a long list. Resurface keeps your saved material together and gives you two ways to return to it: browse the Library or search for the idea.

Start in your Library

Open Library to see your saves. Ready items can show a summary, Why it matters, and a suggested Next step. A saved-only item is still yours even if Resurface could not fully read its source.

Search for what you remember

1. Open the Search tab.
2. Try a topic, phrase, source, or project name associated with the save.
3. Open a result to inspect the saved source and its available context.

You do not need to remember the original headline. Search works best after processing has completed; an item still processing may have less context to match.

When a save is still processing

Open it in the Library to check its state. If processing failed, choose Retry processing on that item. Retry keeps the original save instead of making a duplicate. A blocked or paywalled public page may still have limited extracted context; use the original link when you need the full source.

Keep your attention clear

Use Done when you have handled a resurfacing suggestion, or Later to postpone it. These controls do not delete the underlying save. Resurface does not send an automatic reminder from this guide; you return by opening the app.
