On the Netflix website, click My List at the top menu to view everything you saved.
You’re on a laptop or desktop, a show is on your mind, and you just want the titles you saved earlier. Good news: the Netflix website keeps a clear shortcut to your watchlist. This guide shows exactly where to click, what the icons mean, and a few fixes when the row goes missing or looks empty. The steps below work in any modern browser.
Find My List On Netflix For Web — Fast Steps
Here’s the quick path on a computer:
- Open netflix.com and sign in to your profile.
- Look at the top of the page. Click My List.
- Scroll through your saved shows and movies. Hover a title to play, remove, or open its details page.
This top-menu placement is the current layout on the website. Netflix’s own help page confirms the desktop route: on a web browser, the watchlist is available by clicking My List at the top of the screen (How to use “My List”).
What The Icons Mean On Desktop
When you hover a title tile on the website, you’ll see controls:
- Play: Starts the title right away.
- Checkmark: Already saved. Click it to remove from your watchlist.
- Plus: Not saved yet. Click to add to your list.
- Chevron/More: Opens the detail card with synopsis, maturity rating, audio, and more.
These controls keep the list tidy and let you manage items without opening a separate page.
Add Or Remove Titles From The Website
You can add from many spots on the site. The simplest is from any title card:
- Hover the tile and click + to add. The icon switches to a checkmark.
- Changed your mind? Click the checkmark to remove.
You can also add from a title’s details page with the same plus/checkmark control. Netflix documents this add/remove behavior for desktop on its help pages (Netflix Help: My List).
Sort And Filter Options You’ll See
The website shows your saved items in a single view. On phones you’ll see extra filters like “Haven’t Started,” but the desktop layout focuses on a clean row and fast access to play, remove, or open info. The order often floats newer additions and items with fresh seasons or expiring licenses toward the front, which keeps timely picks in sight (details are outlined on Netflix’s help page linked above).
When The Watchlist Row Seems Missing
If the My List tab isn’t visible at the top or the row looks gone, use these checks:
- Profile: Confirm you’re on the right profile. Each profile has its own saved items.
- Zoom: Browser zoom set too large can hide menu items. Reset zoom to 100%.
- Window width: Narrow windows can collapse the menu. Widen the window or click the menu icon if it appears.
- Region and availability: If a saved title is no longer offered in your current location, it won’t show inside the list until it’s available again. That quirk is noted by Netflix itself on the help page.
- Logout/login: A quick sign-out and sign-in refreshes the menu and the row state.
- Clear site data: If the menu still looks off, clear cached data for netflix.com and reload.
Why A Title You Saved Might Not Appear
Three common reasons explain a missing tile:
- The title left the catalog: When licensing ends, the tile falls off the list.
- Different region: Watching while abroad can hide items that aren’t licensed there. They reappear when you return.
- You removed it: A quick click on the checkmark removes the item. Add it back with +.
Netflix outlines these conditions on its help page and mentions the item count limit as well: a profile can hold up to 2,000 saved shows and movies (My List details).
Extra Navigation Aids On The Website
Your homepage already surfaces rows that matter to you. Still can’t spot something? Use site search. Netflix explains the search and browse options here: the magnifying-glass icon lets you type a title, a person, a genre, or even formats like UHD; the website also includes a language index for audio and subtitles (How to search and browse Netflix).
That search page is handy for the cases where a saved show no longer appears because of regional availability. If search finds it and the title page opens, you’ll see whether it’s playable where you are right now.
Practical Workflow On A Computer
Here’s a simple routine that keeps your watchlist useful and not bloated:
- Use the plus icon whenever you see a trailer or mention you like. Don’t overthink it; adding is instant.
- Open My List weekly and remove anything that no longer looks appealing.
- Start a show from its tile right in My List, then finish via Continue Watching if you step away.
- Check expiring rows on the homepage; if a saved item is leaving soon, it often floats near the front.
Short Desktop Troubleshooting Guide
The Menu Is There, But My List Is Empty
Open a few title pages and click + to re-seed your list. If items still vanish on reload, switch profiles and switch back. That forces a profile refresh.
I Click My List, But The Page Keeps Spinning
Reload the page. If it keeps spinning, open an incognito window, sign in, and try again. If incognito works, clear cookies and cache for the site in your main browser.
I Saved A Title On Phone, But Don’t See It On Web
Changes sync across devices, yet network lag can delay a refresh. Hit Ctrl + R (Windows) or Command + R (Mac). If it still doesn’t appear, sign out and in.
How The Website Orders Your Saved Items
On desktop, the list tends to push timely items forward. New additions, fresh seasons for saved series, or titles that are set to leave soon can surface near the front. That behavior keeps the row lively so you don’t lose track of a new season drop or something about to rotate out.
Availability And Travel Notes
Licensing varies by location. When you travel, some saved items can hide. They return when you’re back in a region where the title is offered. If you think a show should appear and it doesn’t, use site search to confirm whether it’s playable in the current location. If the title page is visible but greyed out, it’s not playable there.
Keyboard And Mouse Tips For Faster Use
- Keyboard browse: Use the arrow keys to move across tiles; press Enter to open the detail card.
- Mute previews: Hover the speaker icon on a preview card to silence sound while you browse.
- Quick remove: Hover a saved tile and click the checkmark to keep the row tidy.
- Open in a new tab: Middle-click a tile or press Ctrl/Command + click to queue details while you continue browsing.
Desktop vs. TV Apps: Why Your Menu Looks Different
The website keeps a clean top menu, while TV apps may show a top bar or a left-side panel depending on device updates. On TVs, your saved items often sit under a My Netflix hub or a direct My List shortcut, and the site’s help page mentions both layouts during an ongoing rollout across devices. That’s why your TV may not match your laptop’s menu exactly.
Quick Reference Table
| Where To Click | What You’ll See | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Top menu → My List | All saved shows and movies in one view | Sort by browsing; newer or timely items float forward |
| Hover any title tile | Play, plus/checkmark, and more details | Click the checkmark to remove clutter fast |
| Title details page | Synopsis, rating, episodes, audio, and add/remove | Use this page to read more before you hit play |
Smart Habits That Keep Your Watchlist Useful
People often add faster than they remove. A few small habits keep the list lean and fun:
- Set a weekly trim: Open the tab and remove two or three titles you’ve lost interest in.
- Pair with trailers: When a preview auto-plays, decide right then to keep or remove.
- Use seasons: Finished season one but not sure about season two? Keep the tile until you decide, then prune if it stalls.
- Track leaving notices: If a saved item is leaving soon, nudge it to the top of your personal queue by planning a watch night.
When Kids Profiles Are Involved
Each profile has its own list, and Kids profiles show titles matched to that setting’s maturity level. If a show you saved on an adult profile doesn’t appear on a Kids profile, that’s by design. Switch profiles from the top-right avatar, then head back to My List on the site menu.
FAQ-Style Quick Checks (No Extra Clicks Needed)
Can I See The Same Watchlist On Every Device?
Yes. Add on phone or TV, then open the website and click My List. Sync is tied to the same profile, so confirm you’re on the right one.
Is There A Limit To Saved Items?
Yes. A profile supports up to 2,000 saved shows and movies as noted by Netflix’s help page.
Can I Reorder Items Manually On The Website?
The desktop view doesn’t offer a manual drag-and-drop. The site pushes timely items forward so you don’t miss fresh seasons or expiring picks.
The Bottom Line For Desktop Users
On a computer, the watchlist sits in the top menu. Click My List and everything you saved appears in one place. From there, hover to play, remove with a single click, or open details for cast and audio. If the row ever seems off, a quick profile check, page reload, or region note solves most cases. Keep the list lean, and it becomes the fastest way to start something you already wanted to watch.
