X documents bookmarks as private and viewable within your own account. Saving a bookmark is different from publishing a reply or repost. It is also different from making a permanent copy of the post.
Privacy of the list versus a displayed count
| Information | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Your bookmark list | Not a public profile list |
| A bookmark total displayed on a post | A total is not a list of people who saved it |
| Your public reply or repost | A separate visible action |
| Your signed-in device | Someone with access may see your bookmarks |
Do not turn “private within your account” into a guarantee against account compromise, shared-device access or disclosure by you.
Save and retrieve a post
Open a post and use the bookmark control, then open Bookmarks from the navigation. See the bookmark setup and organization guide for the full workflow. Confirm the selected account if a saved post seems missing.
A bookmark is a reference, not an archive
If a source post is deleted, protected or otherwise unavailable, the bookmark may no longer open its content. Saving it does not create a verified permanent copy. For a record you are entitled to preserve, keep the source URL, date and context with an appropriate independent copy. Do not promise recovery of material that is already unavailable.
Review tools before granting access
A tool that imports bookmarks needs its own access and privacy review. Check the permissions, stored data and deletion process. Tweet Archivist does not promise bookmark synchronization, private-bookmark analytics or recovery of deleted bookmarked posts. Keep account security and private reading lists separate from public engagement measurements.
