Saving & Finding Bookmarked Bulletins
Save any bulletin to your Saved tab for quick access during active cases — no searching required. Saved bulletins stay until you remove them.
Before you start
- Saving is available to all APBnet users regardless of role.
- You can save a bulletin from anywhere you can open it — Received, Feed, or search results.
Steps
- 1
Open a bulletin from your inbox, Feed, or search results.
You can save a bulletin from any view where you can read it. Open the full bulletin detail to access the save control.

When the case closes, remove bulletins from Saved.
Open the bulletin and click the Save icon again to unsave it, or remove it directly from the Saved tab. Keeping your Saved tab clean means every bulletin in it is relevant to something currently active.
Tips
Use Saved as a lightweight case folder
Save every bulletin related to an active investigation so it's accessible in one place without searching each time. The Saved tab becomes a snapshot of what's open and relevant right now.
Save from anywhere you find a bulletin
You don't have to be in Received to save. If you find a relevant bulletin in the Feed, in Search results, or shared in a Collaboration Group, you can save it immediately from that view.
Saved is personal — it's your list, not a shared folder
Your Saved bulletins are only visible to you. If you want to share bulletins with your team, use a Collaboration Group. Save is for your own reference during an active investigation.
