# Save X posts and sync private bookmarks

Save public X posts, expand threads on any plan, or add X Sync to import private bookmarks automatically.

Personal lets you save public X posts through Capture, the browser extension, CLI, API, or MCP. Keep can expand a saved post into its full thread.

The separate X Sync add-on connects your private X account and imports new bookmarks automatically. Thread expansion is included on every plan. It is not an X Sync feature.

## Connect an X account with X Sync

1.  Open **Settings**.
2.  Open **Connections**.
3.  Find **X**.
4.  Select **Connect X**.
5.  Authorise bookmark access.
6.  Choose a recent backfill or start from now.
7.  Choose the capture options.

You can connect more than one X account. Keep shows sync state and controls for each account.

## Choose a backfill

Use **Start from now** to save future bookmarks only. Use a recent-bookmark option to run one capped import.

Keep does not promise a complete historical X import. Use the extension export when you need a manual browser-based snapshot.

## Expand threads

Open **Settings**, then **Connections**, to turn thread expansion on or off. Keep collects the author’s connected self-replies when this setting is on. It saves the posts in order with their text, links, media, and quoted posts when available.

## Sync an account now

Open the account controls and select **Sync now**. A failed run shows an error. Read it, then select **Retry**.

## Import bookmarks manually with Personal

Use the browser extension when you need a manual export.

1.  Export X bookmarks as JSON from Keep Web Clipper.
2.  Open **Settings** in Keep.
3.  Open **Data**.
4.  Find **Import**.
5.  Select **Import X bookmarks**.
6.  Select the JSON file.
7.  Review the preview.
8.  Start the import.

See [Import](https://keep.md/docs/import) for processing options.

## Disconnect an account

Open the account controls. Select **Disconnect**. Existing items stay in Keep. Future bookmarks from that account stop syncing.
