The Save button will appear whenever you make changes to your graph or notebook. Click Save to store the graph or notebook your account. Or, press CTRL + S (Windows) or CMD + S (Mac).

Be sure to save your graph or notebook each time you make edits so you do not lose any progress. If you are not signed in, you’ll be prompted to sign in or create a free account before you can save any changes.

To rename a saved graph or notebook, click the More Options dropdown. Then, select Rename and enter the new name. Click Save to update the name.

To access all of your saved work, click Open Graph. Or, press CTRL + O (Windows) or CMD + O (Mac).

Your saved work will open, and from here, you can filter your saved work by tool type and explore premade example graphs and notebooks.

You can view your saved work in a list or grid layout. In both views, you can filter by tool to find what you need.

If you view your work in a list, you will be able to sort them by date or by name.

Find a specific graph or notebook by entering its name into the search bar.

If you want to edit a graph or notebook without altering the original, click the three vertical dots to the right of the title. Then, select Duplicate. This will create a new graph or notebook that is separate from the original.

You can organize your work by grouping them within folders. To create a new folder, click the dropdown next to New Graph (this button defaults to match the tool you are using). Select Add Folder. Then, enter a name for your new folder. Folders are automatically organized by creation date and appear above your individual saved graphs or notebooks.

To add graphs or notebooks to a folder, select one or more items by checking the box next to each name. You can also press and hold SHIFT to select multiple items at a time. Then, drag them into the desired folder or select Move Items to place them into the folder.

To move a single graph or notebook, you can also click the three vertical dots and then select Move. This will allow you to move it to an existing folder or add it to a new folder.

To delete a graph or notebook, click the three vertical dots to the right of the name. Then, select Delete.

To delete a folder, select the three vertical dots to the right of the folder name. Then, select Delete Folder. This option moves any graphs or notebooks back into your Saved Work view.

Or, select Delete Folder and Graphs. This option deletes both the folder, its contents, and link to its gallery.

To delete multiple graphs or notebooks at once, select your items by checking the box next to each item name. You can also press and hold SHIFT to select multiple items at a time. Then, click Delete Items.

Click Share to share links or images of your graphs or notebooks. You can share links to your Graphing, Geometry, or 3D Calculator graphs in two ways, and you have extra options for notebooks.

Share a Snapshot

If you want to share what your graph or notebook looks like at a specific moment without saving it to your account, click Share a Snapshot. Or, press

The snapshot will display your graph or notebook exactly as it looked when you generated the link. It will not change if you update the original source.

You can’t edit or delete a snapshot because it does not save to your account. If you think you’ll want to make changes later, use the Save and Share This Graph or Save and Share This Notebook option instead.

Save and Share Your Work

If you'd like to save your graph or notebook to your account and share it, click Save and Share This Graph or Save and Share This Notebook. This option creates a shareable link that stays the same even if you keep editing your graph or notebook later. Anyone with the link will always see the latest version with your most recently saved edits.

Importing a Graph Link

If you paste a link to a graph into the expression list of a new graph, the new graph will import the contents of the linked graph. You can only paste links to graphs made in the same tool, with two exceptions. You can paste links from the Graphing Calculator into the Geometry Tool. You can also paste any type of graph into Notebook.

To import a saved graph into a notebook, paste a graph link directly into the Item menu and then click the thumbnail to insert the graph.

You have extra options for what your viewer can see and do when you share notebooks.

When you share a snapshot or shared notebook, viewers will be directed to a link where they can drag sliders, move points, and interact with other items, but they won’t be able to edit any of the contents. Click Preview while in the editor to see how your shared notebook will appear to others.

To go to the editor from any shared notebook, click Open in Editor. Or, when sharing a snapshot or shared notebook, click Link Opens in Editor to have your notebook open in the editor automatically.

If you were signed in and accidentally closed your graph without saving your work, you might still be able to recover your work.
