Auto-Delete Option for Read Articles with Recently Deleted Folder
Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

**Feature Summary:
An option to turn on auto-delete saved articles once clicked on. Perhaps these could be moved to a “recently deleted” folder. I often find it difficult to manage my saved articles and remember which ones I’ve read. I do appreciate I can remove a saved article from the bottom while reading.

Use Case:
After reading clicking on an article, it is removed from your reading list, to keep it organised. For example you have a 20 page reading list, you click on the first article to read it, the article then is removed from the reading list to a ‘recently deleted’ folder. You now only have 19 pages left.

Benefits:
Improved management of the reading list, helping prevent it getting unmanageable. Knowledge the pages left on your reading list haven’t been read and you just forgot to delete them.

Thank you for this suggestion! An option to have articles immediately removed after reading could be a setting. We will consider this suggestion the next time we focus on improving the Saved Reading lists (not currently planned for the upcoming year).
