#Options explained
What a folder keeps. A saved ad is kept as a snapshot. It keeps the picture and copy as they were when you saved it.
Saving the same ad twice. If the ad is already in that folder, the app treats it as saved. You do not see an error.
Tracking competitors. The Spy screen has no button to track a competitor today. Use Recent searches to come back to a search, and run the search again to refresh the ads.
#Limits
- A folder name is up to 60 characters.
- The menu loads your folders the first time you open it.

#Questions
#Can I track a competitor so I get new ads automatically?
Not from the Spy screen today. There is no tracking control in the app. You can search the brand again at any time.
#Are saved ads private to me?
They are saved in your workspace's folders.
#Do saved ads change when the competitor changes the ad?
No. The folder keeps the snapshot from the moment you saved it.
#Is there a limit on folders?
The app does not show one. Each folder name is limited in length.
#Where do saved ads show up?
In Library > Saved, inside the folder you chose. See Save and organise.
