Using bookmarks

Bookmarks take you back to the items you work on in one click. They are personal: nobody else sees them, and removing a bookmark never changes the item. They are not the bookmarks of your web browser; they live in your account and follow you to every browser. You can sort them into folders, and since Exponential 6.0.15 you can also bookmark pages of the administration itself, such as a list or a search.

You need the right to use bookmarks (the policy content/bookmark), which editors and administrators have.

Add a bookmark

There are three ways:

• From the right column: open the item and press Add to bookmarks in the Bookmarks box.
• From the item's menu: click the icon in front of the item's name in the tree, or the menu with three dots in a Sub items row, and choose Add to my bookmarks.
• Several at once: on My bookmarks, press Add items, select the items in the browser that opens and confirm.

The Bookmarks box then lists the item; click its name to open it. To bookmark a page of the administration, such as Setup > System information or a search, press Bookmark this page at the top right of that page.

My bookmarks

Open Dashboard > My bookmarks to manage them.

• Folders, on the left: All bookmarks, Not in a folder and your own folders. Create one under New folder with a name and the folder it goes into.
• Find a bookmark searches the names, types, locations and folders of all your bookmarks.
• Order: Your order, Name A to Z, Recently added, Type or Recently modified. Bookmarks stay grouped by folder in every order.
• Each bookmark shows its type, its location and when the item was last modified, with buttons to view and edit the item and arrows to move the bookmark up and down.
• To arrange, drag a bookmark by its grip to another place, or onto a folder in the folder list.
• Tick bookmarks to move them with Move the selected bookmarks to and Move selected, or to remove them with Remove selected.

Removing a folder asks whether what is inside moves to the folder above, which is the default, or is removed with it.

Bookmarks elsewhere

The same folders appear in the Bookmarks box of the right column, in the browser that opens when you choose a place or an item (for example when moving content), and in the online editor when you insert a link or an embedded item.

What can go wrong

• A bookmark is grayed out. The page or item cannot be opened where you are now: it was removed, your role no longer allows it, or the page does not exist in this part of the installation. You can still rename, move or remove the bookmark.
• Add to bookmarks is grayed out. The page you are on is not an item; use Bookmark this page at the top of the page instead.
• The Bookmarks box is gone. The right column is hidden. Click the tab at the right edge of the window.
