Hi Brittany, the videos under Bubble’s documentation show you how here: [https://bubble.io/documentation](https://bubble.io/documentation). Bubble also has tutorials on Vimeo ([https://vimeo.com/bubblegroup](https://vimeo.com/bubblegroup)) and there are free youtube tutorials here:

The forum also has a lot of great examples: [https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=index&id=forumapp3&tab=tabs-1](https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=index&id=forumapp3&tab=tabs-1)

Here is a simple example of saving a text input (favorite color) to the Current User. This setup will work for logged in users. 🙂

Faye thank you so much for directing me to this link! The video ‘Defining types of things’ pushed my product’s development in the right direction. 🕶😁
