# Can Perplexity help track a recurring news topic without losing the source trail?

I follow a few stories that develop over weeks, and each new search in Perplexity tends to give me another set of links and a fresh summary. I’d like to keep track of what has actually changed without mixing new reporting with older background pieces.

How do you use Perplexity for a **recurring news topic**? Is there a practical way to keep the sources and dates organized across follow-up searches, or do you maintain that trail somewhere outside the app?
