Do you conduct online research? How do you collect information and where do you keep it? 📂

As a community & content manager, I do online research eeeeeevery day. 🔍
I often gather information for our content plans, such as what to write, when to post, and what sources to use. I also research influencer marketing on the web and social media platforms like LinkedIn and X. (To be honest, that’s where I find the most useful information!)
So here's a breakdown of how I manage it:
💡Webpages and articles💡
When I find useful information, I use the Collabwriting extension to highlight the text. It automatically saves the highlighted part as a snippet. If I’m collecting info on the same topic from different sites, I organize everything under one cluster in Collabwriting. For instance, if I’m researching Knowledge Management, I’ll name my cluster accordingly.
🧩Sharing and collaborating🧩
I often need to share what I’ve found with my team for collaboration and feedback. I can easily add team members to the cluster, permit them to comment, and keep track of their feedback.
This way of collaborating is super helpful when I only need to share specific parts of a text with my team, not the whole article. Plus, I always have a well-organized knowledge base where everything is stored.
📍Locating📍
Even though I can see my work on my dashboard - like when I created it and what comments were added - sometimes I need a broader view. In that case, I use the "Locate" button to find the exact snippet I saved. It takes me to the original page with the highlighted text in purple.
It’s surprising to me that people still use "copy-paste" - it feels like a thing of the past. 🙄
🚀Integrations🚀
When I mentioned that I find a lot of useful information on social media, I really do - especially on LinkedIn. Whenever I come across something valuable, I open the extension and click the little plus button under each post. The extension automatically grabs the post's description. Pretty cool, right? 😄
And If I want to add snippets to the Notion or Google Docs, I simply Drag and Drop them.
Collabwriting is also great for creating guides and onboarding materials, especially for new team members, and for working with clients.
