I have been using Stack Overflow for a while now and realized what a great source of knowledge the answers are across many topics.
In many cases, I thought that it would be useful to have the option to save some questions and their answers in a special "list". Later, I could visit this list and read again the answers I got before making a decision.
Are there any plans that will allow users the ability to save answers and/or questions in a list?
If you click the star below the voting section on a question (to the left of the question), it will be saved to your favourites. You can then keep track of all the questions and their answers as they will be saved on the Favorites tab in your account.
As of 2022 - there's 2 mechanisms to do so.
You can follow a post or save it
Follows treats a question like 'one of your own' - you get notifications of new answers and comments.
While its a nascent feature - and there may be more to come, saves
Saves lets you organise things into lists and add annotations to the posts, which is useful for say you need to create a list for a project.
Taking this a logical step further, let's say you are really more interested in a specific answer than the question itself. S[OFU] doesn't need a new feature for you to manage this; you already have it: Your browser's bookmarks or favorites list. You can create folders, organize as needed, and have everything you need just a click or two away at any time.
