Scrapbook

Overview

Scrapbook (/scrapbook) is your research inbox inside Obsurfable. Save URLs and short notes from LinkedIn posts, competitor pages, blog articles, or any source you find useful for AEO and GEO strategy. Annotate entries with observations, ideas, or action items—and those notes sync to your central Annotations feed.

Unlike Conversations, which searches platforms automatically, Scrapbook is for anything you discover manually while browsing.

Who it's for

• Any Obsurfable user (available on Free and Pro) building a personal or team research library
• Content strategists collecting inspiration, competitor examples, and citation sources
• Teams running the Discover workflow who need one place for findings that do not fit a prompt run or query tree

Prerequisites

1. A signed-in Obsurfable account with a completed company profile.
2. No plan upgrade required—Scrapbook is available on Free and Pro.

Step-by-step

Add a scrapbook entry

1. Go to Scrapbook in the sidebar or navigate to /scrapbook.
2. Click Add entry.
3. Enter a URL (optional), a short note about why it matters (optional)—at least one is required.
4. Save the entry. It appears at the top of your active list, sorted by most recently updated.

Annotate an entry

1. On any scrapbook card, click Annotate (or edit an existing note).
2. Write your observation, idea, or follow-up action.
3. Save—the annotation appears on the entry and in Annotations with a link back to Scrapbook.

Organize with archive

1. Archive entries you no longer need in the active list—click Archive on the entry card.
2. Toggle Show archived to view or restore archived entries.
3. Restoring moves an entry back to your active scrapbook.

Use scrapbook in your workflow

1. After Conversations searches, save standout threads to Scrapbook for long-term tracking.
2. When Insights or query trees surface external citation gaps, save competitor or third-party URLs you want to study.
3. Reference scrapbook notes when drafting Content or planning outreach.

Tips

• Add a one-line note when saving a URL—future you will not remember why you bookmarked it.
• Use annotations for deeper analysis (positioning angles, quote ideas, outreach drafts)—keep the entry note short and the annotation detailed.
• Archive instead of deleting—restoring is easy if a source becomes relevant again.
• Pair Scrapbook with Annotations during weekly Discover sessions: save sources here, review all notes in one feed at /annotations.
• Save competitor comparison pages and FAQ URLs when Monitor shows them cited in AI answers.

FAQ

Is Scrapbook available on the Free plan?

Yes. Scrapbook and Annotations are available on Free and Pro.

Do I need a URL to create an entry?

No. You can save a note-only entry (e.g., a meeting takeaway or idea). At least a URL or a note is required.

Where do scrapbook annotations appear?

On the entry itself and in the unified Annotations page at /annotations, labeled as scrapbook entries with a link back to the source.

Can I edit or delete annotations?

Yes. Open the annotate modal on an entry to edit an existing note or remove annotations you no longer need.

What is the difference between Scrapbook and Conversations?

Conversations searches Reddit, Quora, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other platforms automatically using your keywords. Scrapbook is manual—you save anything you find while browsing, from any site.

Are scrapbook entries shared across my team?

Entries are scoped to your account and active company workspace. Multi-user team sharing depends on your organization's account setup.

Can I export scrapbook entries?

There is no built-in CSV export for Scrapbook today. Use Annotations as a cross-feature view of your notes, or copy important entries into your team's project tracker.
