How to add a Bookmarking/Save-for-Later functionality in Framer
Adding the ability for members of your website to save an item for later
If you joined FramerAuth before July 22, 2024, you'll need to complete the migration before utilizing bookmarks.
This functionality requires FramerAuth to be installed on your Framer website to work. We recommend cloning the Framer file to get a deeper understanding.
Users often come across content on your website that they want to revisit later. Whether it's an informative article, an intriguing video, or a product they are considering, providing a way for visitors to save and bookmark content can significantly enhance their user experience.
By integrating a bookmarking or save-for-later feature into your website, you not only help users manage their content more effectively but also encourage repeat visits, which can boost engagement and retention rates. Today I'll show you how to add bookmarking/save-for-later to your Framer website powered by FramerAuth.

In this guide, you'll learn how to create a bookmarking experience to add to your Framer site using FramerAuth. This will allow your members to save a CMS item to a specific page for future reference. This requires a code component and an override.
Add the Component
Copy the component link below and paste the component onto your Framer canvas.
Configure the bookmark button properties
Unlink the component and stylize however you'd like (don't add more than two variants and don't remove CMSActionInterface component).
In your instance, set the component to be in the "finished" variant state by default.
Connect the slug from the component to your slug variable from the CMS.
Apply the
withToggleBookmarkBlog
override from the FramerAuth override file to the component instance.The link option allows you to redirect to a certain page after the button is clicked, this is optional.

Create a new page called

Note: Bookmarking will not work until added to a FramerAuth connected website. Make sure your site has been properly setup first to work properly.
