Save for Later - within Document Libraries
Sam Greatorex mhines , we are seeing the same behavior - new feature released in 2019 no longer visible in document libraries or OneDrives.
Going to open a ticket with Microsoft Support to see where this feature went.
MicrosoftFab_Franz The save for later on ODB/doc lib feature is no longer available. Save for later is still provided as part of pages/news.
Thanks.

Bryan Petersen Is this feature permanently gone? It's odd that the "Saved for later" web part still has options to retrieve documents that are set as "saved for later", but there's no way to set a document as "saved for later". This seems such a simple and useful feature to just remove it this way.
- Bryan PetersenThe Saved for Later feature for documents only applies to the Mobile SharePoint App. That's why you still see the document selection as part of the Save for Later web part.
Bryan Petersen Interesting. I have the iOS SharePoint app (and I also tried the iOS OneDrive app) and I can't seem to find the option in any files to "Save for Later" in the Document Libraries. The only place I can find that option is in the Recent Files list on the home screen within the app.
It does seem rather odd that there's only one obscure way to mark a document as Saved for Later, and it has to be done on a mobile app. I've seen plenty of screenshots of the option being available on the web (desktop) in the past, so I'm not sure why it was taken away. It would be a very useful feature when combined with the web part for allowing users to "bookmark" documents for themselves and find them easily in a web part on a Home Site.
I just received word from Microsoft (through an official support ticket) that this indeed has gone away, and they are not intending to put it back. EXTREMELY disappointed here.
Still not back!
