Saved ideas is your research journal. Every time you save a video **as an idea** (with a note attached), it shows up here as a dated entry — thumbnail, creator, your note. It's the surface where your thinking accumulates over time. Open **Review ideas** in the Workspace section of the sidebar to get here. (The sidebar label is "Review ideas"; the page itself is titled "Saved ideas." Docs use "Saved ideas" throughout.) Saved ideas — a chronological feed of videos with notes attached ## Ideas vs lists Wholana has two ways to save a video, and they serve different purposes: | Action | Where it goes | When to use it | | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Save as idea** (note required) | Saved ideas page | When you have something to say about the video — a hook to remember, a format to steal, an angle to study | | **Save to list** (bookmark, no note) | A [TikTok list](/features/tiktok-lists) | When you want to group the video by theme or campaign for later, without committing to writing a note | A video can be both — saved as an idea *and* added to a list. Or just one. Or neither. The two save mechanisms are independent. For a fast scan session, lists are the right tool. For deliberate study, ideas are. Most useful research sessions involve both. ## Saving a video as an idea 1. From any card in the [Explore feed](/features/explore-feed) (or a creator's page), click the card to open its detail view. 2. Write your note in the note field. 3. Save. The idea appears at the top of the Saved ideas feed. ## What to write in a note There's no required format. Notes that pay off later cover: * **Hook** — the first 1–3 seconds. What stopped your scroll? * **Format** — talking-head, POV, slideshow, screen recording, duet, voiceover. * **Angle** — the specific framing that differentiated this video from others in the same format. * **What you'd steal** — the one element you'd apply. *"The 'three things I wish I knew at 25' framing applied to skincare"* is useful. *"Good hook"* is not. Write for future-you, not for an audience. The notes are reference material when you plan content next week or next month. They only need to make sense to you. ## Why this is a separate surface from lists Saving and writing are two different attentional modes. Scanning the Explore feed is fast and high-throughput — the right state for bookmarking videos into [lists](/features/tiktok-lists). Writing a note is slow and deliberate — the right state for studying one video. The detail view + Saved ideas feed exists for the slow mode. The bookmark + lists exist for the fast mode. Trying to write deep notes while scanning means you do neither well. Notes are fully manual. Wholana does not generate, suggest, or auto-fill them. ## Related * [Explore feed](/features/explore-feed) — where you find videos worth a note * [TikTok lists](/features/tiktok-lists) — the lighter, no-note save mechanism * [Creators](/features/creators) — open a tracked creator and save ideas from their catalogue
