> Save a recurring browser setup, reopen it from a named collection or shortcut, and avoid duplicate tabs and outdated project links.

If every weekly review starts with the same report, brief, project board, and shared folder, save those destinations together. The useful unit is the review, not four individual browser bookmarks you must find again.

For a recurring setup, keep a curated collection. For a temporary investigation, keep a separate Session. This avoids reopening last week's research every time you start today's routine.

## Choose a saved set or a bookmark folder

| Method | Best fit | Maintenance |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Browser bookmark folder | A stable set of destination URLs | Rename and update bookmarks |
| SuperCommands Link object | An ordered set accessible through search and shortcuts | Review its URL rows |
| Saved Session | A working set you want to revisit | Decide when the stored set needs updating |
| Native tab group | Related pages during active browsing | Keep group membership meaningful |

A folder may already be enough. A SuperCommands object is useful when you want the set available beside other saved work, or want a short command to retrieve it.

## Build the collection from current tabs

1. Open the pages that belong to the repeatable task.
2. In SuperCommands, choose **Create → Link**.
3. Choose **Current Tabs** and select the eligible pages you want.
4. Review the names and destinations.
5. Put the starting page first, then the supporting pages.
6. Name the object `weekly account review` and confirm it is saved.

Do not include email, a search you already finished, or an unrelated documentation page simply because they happen to be open. The purpose is to make starting the review predictable.

The [Link documentation](https://supercommands.com/docs/links) explains sources and URL normalization. If you want to preserve a broader investigation, save it as a separate Session rather than expanding the recurring collection indefinitely.

## Open it through search or a shortcut

Use the configured `Alt + S` shortcut on a normal webpage, type the collection's name, and select the matching saved object. Read its name and category before pressing Enter.

For frequent use, open the object's Properties and assign a Text Shortcut such as `review`. Type `c review` in SuperCommands search. In the browser address bar, activate SuperCommands with `c` followed by Space, then enter `review`.

Those are two different entry surfaces. The [Command Shortcuts guide](https://supercommands.com/docs/command-shortcuts) explains the distinction.

## Check what is already open

Before launching the whole set, see whether today's review pages are already open. Search for an existing tab when you only need to return to that page.

Do not assume that every collection launcher detects and reuses all existing tabs. If a second copy opens, close the redundant page after checking that neither tab contains unsaved work.

If the collection grows beyond a useful starting set, split it. `weekly review essentials` can contain the four pages you always need; `review references` can remain saved for occasional lookup.

## Update destinations when the workflow changes

Use a stable document or project URL rather than a temporary invitation or an expiring download link. When a report moves, correct the existing collection instead of making another almost-identical object.

Give row names enough context: `client A report` is more useful than `Dashboard` when several collections contain dashboards. Check the site's active account after reopening it; saved URLs do not restore a separate login.

## Verify before closing the originals

Open the saved object and compare its destinations with the original set. Check at least one important page by reopening it. A URL collection stores where to go; it does not guarantee restoration of unsent messages, unsaved forms, or every page's internal state.

For work you depend on, create a backup using [the workspace backup controls](https://supercommands.com/docs/drive-backup). To arrange the set beside its next-action note, follow [the workspace tutorial](https://supercommands.com/blogs/how-to-save-and-organize-browser-tabs-into-workspaces).
