How to export a research reading list people can revisit
A reading list is useful when titles, links and brief relevance notes stay together. It helps a person return to the material behind a project instead of reconstructing a trail of browser tabs.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- a selected visible resource or news list.
- The intended result
- Save titles, URLs, shown dates and reading-priority notes based on the user's topic.
How the workflow works.
Capture the supplied references and organize them by the research question. Keep author or publication details where available and explain relevance without pretending an unread source was fully reviewed.
What to check in the result.
Check URLs and duplicate records before sharing. Missing bibliographic information should remain a gap to resolve rather than being filled with a plausible author, date or title.
Preview the Markdown to check headings, lists and links as well as the words. Keep source references with the document so a reviewer can trace important statements back to the material you supplied.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable Markdown example shows one possible organization of the result. Read it alongside the source example and notice which statements are recorded facts, proposed wording or questions still needing an answer.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.

- Open the source you want to work with and activate WebAct on that tab.
- Copy the task from the hero, add any required fields or preferences, and review the proposed actions.
- Compare the first result with your source. Ask for a specific correction or refinement where needed.
