Saved
Press Save on a program or a work. Your Saved page collects them in two tabs, Programs and Works. Nobody is told what you saved.
There is one save control on Artsume, and it is a button that reads Save. Press it on a program you might apply to or a work you want to come back to, and it lands in your Saved list. The button then reads Saved. Press it again to take the item out.
Where the Save button appears
The Save button sits on the things worth keeping:
- Program cards, wherever they appear: Explore, your Feed, and the widget in the rail.
- Program pages that are still open, in the sidebar next to the apply button, and in the action bar at the bottom of a phone screen.
- Works by other people, on the tiles in an artist's portfolio, on a work's own page, and on work posts in your feed. Your own tiles carry no Save button, since you cannot save your own work.
The button is a word in every place. It has no icon.
You cannot save your own work. Artsume tells you so rather than quietly doing nothing.
Your Saved page
Everything you saved collects in one place, under two tabs.
Programs is the first tab, newest save at the top, laid out as the same cards you saved them from. Works is the second tab, newest save first, each with the artist's name attached so you can get back to whoever made it.
Until you have saved anything, the page carries a single line telling you to save a program or a work.
Saved programs stay saved
A saved program stays in your list after its deadline passes and after it closes. That is deliberate: a saved list is a bookmark, not a live search, and a program vanishing the week it closed would be worse than a closed program you can still read.
A closed program's page carries no Save button, so that is not where you remove it. Take it out from your Saved page instead.
If you want a live list instead, save the search rather than the programs. Saved searches live on Explore and email you when a new program fits them, which is part of Artsume Pro.
The Saved filter replaces your other filters
The Saved filter above the Explore results replaces whatever else you had set and shows the programs you have saved, on Explore. Your other filters, and the map bounds, drop while it is on. Turn it off to get them back. Your Saved page is the fuller view, with works alongside programs.
Why a saved work can disappear
Works behave differently from programs, because a work belongs to somebody else. If an artist unpublishes a piece or moves it back to a draft, it leaves your Saved list. Nothing is deleted on your side. The work is simply no longer public, and Artsume does not keep showing you someone's withdrawn piece.
Follow the artist instead if you want to keep up with them. Following is covered in Your network.
Who can see what you saved
Nobody else is notified when you save something. No bell rings for them, no email goes out, and no name reaches the artist or the organization. You do hear about your own saves: a saved program earns you a notification when its deadline is near, and an email as well if your reminder settings ask for one.
What they do see is a number:
- An artist reads Portfolio saves on their Insights page, a count of how many times their work has been saved over the past 30 days. It never names who saved it.
- An organization reads a Saves count for a program in its reporting, aggregated the same way.
Your list is private. The totals are not. If you would rather nothing counted at all, do not press Save.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the organization know I saved its program?
Not by name. Organizations see a total number of saves for a program in their reporting, with nobody identified. Your list of saved programs is visible only to you.
Why did a work disappear from my Saved list?
The artist unpublished it or moved it back to a draft, so it's no longer public. Your other saves are untouched. Follow the artist if you want to know when they publish something new.
Do saved programs disappear when they close?
No. A closed program stays in your Saved list so you can read it, note the deadline, and watch for the next round. Saved is a bookmark list, not a live search.
Can I save my own work?
No. Artsume blocks it and says so. Use Feature on profile instead if you want to highlight a piece on your own About tab.
What's the difference between saving a program and following the organization?
Saving puts that one program in your list. Following the organization puts everything it publishes into the Following tab of your feed, including programs you haven't seen yet.
