01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person submitting a webpage link through a quick-add interaction

“Check the submitted page for an available title, prepare a reading-list item with its source link, and confirm the intended list before saving.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a reader capture an article while it is top of mind and keep its title and original link together for later.

  1. Accept an intentional link submission

    Use a person’s deliberate reading-list request and make clear which list the article may be added to.

  2. Check the submitted destination

    Retain the original address and flag links that are incomplete, unavailable, or outside the expected reading context.

  3. Prepare the article title

    Use the title available on the page and mark it for review when the page provides no clear or reliable title.

  4. Confirm the reading-list destination

    Show the intended list and proposed entry so a person can catch an incorrect destination or duplicate.

  5. Save the reviewed entry

    Add the title and source link only after the intended list and details have been confirmed.

  6. Return a clear outcome

    Tell the requester whether the entry was saved or needs attention, without exposing the submitted link to an unintended audience.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A reading-list entry with the source link and available page title, or a clear request for a person to resolve an unavailable or unclear page.

The handoff

A reading-list entry with the source link and available page title, or a clear request for a person to resolve an unavailable or unclear page.

Keep in mind

A page title may be missing, misleading, or changed later. Verify the source and list destination before saving; do not treat a submitted link as safe or endorsed, and have a person approve any message shared with others.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Create the reading list

Choose the fields to keep for each article, such as its title, source link, and review status.

Define the quick-add interaction

Explain how a person submits a link, which list receives it, and what acknowledgement they will see.

Set access and duplicate handling

Choose who can add or view entries and decide how an existing article is recognized and reviewed.

Test clear, unavailable, and unsafe links

Check a page with a clear title, one without a title, and an unexpected destination before using the reading list.
