# Watchlists

Use watchlists to group companies you want to keep an eye on. Each list is tied to your account, and companies aren't told they're on it. A watchlist is a set of shortcuts: to get updates from a company, [follow it](/investors/following-and-access/) as well.

## Add a company

1. **Open the company's page**

   Open the **Company actions** menu (the ⋮ button beside the company name) and
   choose **Watchlist**. If you aren't signed in, you'll be asked to.
2. **Choose a list**

   Check the box next to a watchlist to add the company. Uncheck it to remove
   the company.
3. **Or create a list**

   Type a name in **New watchlist name** and choose the plus button. The list
   is created with this company in it.

A company can be on several lists at once. The star in the menu is filled when the company is on at least one of yours.

## Manage your lists

Go to [Watchlists](https://www.sureshake.com/watchlists). The page shows how many watchlists you have and how many companies you're tracking.

| To do this           | Do this                                                                             |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Create an empty list | Choose **New watchlist**, enter a name, and confirm.                                |
| See what's in a list | Select its row. It expands in place, with any ticker shown beside the company name. |
| Open a company       | Select its name in the expanded list.                                               |
| Remove a company     | Open the actions menu on its row and choose **Remove from watchlist**.              |
| Rename a list        | Open the actions menu on the list's row and choose **Rename**.                      |
| Delete a list        | Open the actions menu on the list's row and choose **Delete watchlist**.            |

> **Caution**
>
> **Delete watchlist** takes effect right away, with no confirmation step. It
> removes the list, not the companies.

## If you see Save startup instead

If a company has a published startup profile, the **Company actions** menu shows **Save startup** and **Watchlists** instead of **Watchlist**. These are private investor watchlists, which are separate from the lists on the Watchlists page.

Using them requires a [verified capital-provider profile](/investors/#verify-your-capital-provider-profile). Otherwise the action reads **Verified investor only**.

- A startup can be in one private investor watchlist at a time. Move it from the same dialog, or choose **Remove from watchlist**.
- You manage these lists from a company's page. They don't appear on the Watchlists page.
- The startup isn't notified.
- They can [create alerts](/investors/#set-up-alerts) in your Action Center. The lists on the Watchlists page don't.
