Packs are a great way to group together a selection of articles and resources on First Draft News. You can choose to keep them private or make them public and sharable. There is no limit to the number of pages you can add to each pack, and you can add the same page to as many different packs as you like. Once created, find and edit packs in your ‘Saved’ page.
How you use packs is up to you
