Saving & Sharing

Written By Yuri P.

Swipes is your launch queue, not a graveyard. Every save is a future test — not a “save for later” you’ll never open.

How to save content to Swipes

You can pull ads into Swipes from 4 places. Each one funnels into the same library — same breakdown, same transcripts, same AI Analysis.

  1. Chrome Extension - save from Facebook Ad Library, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube. The most common entry point.

  2. Discovery - the in-app library. One-click save from any result.

  3. Raven - every ad a tracked competitor launches is auto-saved into the brand’s Raven folder.

  4. Manual Upload - drop in files a teammate sent you, your own ads, or anything else from local.

Every save gets the same treatment:

How to share an ad

Every saved ad has a public link.
No CopyThief account needed on the other end:

Useful for designers, freelancers, or partners.

  1. Open any saved ad → Share button (top right of the drawer)

  2. The link copies to your clipboard

  3. Send it - Slack, email, brief doc, anywhere

The recipient sees the ad with the same drawer you do, minus the editing controls. Comments and tags stay private to your workspace.

To share a whole collection at once, see How to share a board.

Team Swipes vs My Swipes

Once you invite teammates, your library shows two views:

  • My Saves — only what you saved personally

  • Team Saves — everything saved by anyone in the workspace (default)

Toggle in the top bar of Swipes. Setting persists per browser session.

What happens when a competitor takes down an ad?

Nothing on your end. Once an ad is saved to Swipes, the asset lives on our servers. The original can get killed, the brand can hide it from Ad Library, the page can delete — your save survives forever.

This is one of the biggest reasons operators use Swipes instead of bookmarks or screenshots.
