The gesture on documents, pages, news (leaf nodes basically) is called Save for Later.

What about classic "following" documents experience do you like/expect ?
Today, you can Save for later documents from the SP mobile app. See this post. We are just rolling out Saving pages/news in the web. We will expand to more entry points and Save for later abilities over time (and based on customer feedback as well)
- Thank you all for the responses. That is correct, pages or news we can save for later but for Documents you have to rely on what Delve shows you either recent ones you have accessed or other files from other sites/locations that you may have interest. The use case we keep hearing is what we had on classic pages. You are in a SharePoint Site reviewing document libraries and you like in picking from there files that you like to follow. Any thoughts on when following people may be part of the road map? Thanks!
