For later use, it downloads those links. To indicate the pages to retrieve, you have to use the Web Ahead by clicking its name in the Navigator pane. Then select the instructions appearing in the view.

The user can set the frequency from an hour to a day or week. If there is any change in the web page then this agent reminds the user by sending an email. It is used same as Web Ahead.
