Managing Bookmarks

While the Bookmarks bar is a convenient place to access your favorite bookmarks, it doesn't leave much room for more than a few websites. If you plan to use bookmarks regularly, you'll need to learn more about organizing your bookmarks in the Bookmark Manager.

To Open the Bookmark Manager:

The Bookmark Manager will help you organize your bookmarks into folders, delete bookmarks and folders you no longer use, and search for bookmarks you can't find.

  1. Click the Wrench icon Wrench icon in the top-right corner of the browser and hover the mouse over Bookmarks.
  2. Select Bookmark manager from the drop-down menu.

To Create a Folder:

If you have a lot of different bookmarks about one topic, you might consider creating a folder to keep them organized. New folders can be added either to the Bookmarks bar folder or the Other bookmarks folder in the Bookmark Manager.

  1. Click the folder where you wish to add a new folder. The selected folder will appear with an Open folder icon Folder icon. In this example, we'll create a folder to help organize some recipes in the Other bookmarks folder.

The Other bookmarks folder will also appear on the Bookmarks bar for easy access to all of your Bookmarks.
