Managing Bookmarks

When viewing resources bookmarked in your folders, you will see any attached personal notes and links to the resource's details and website. Any personal notes you add to a bookmark are only viewable by you if the bookmark is in a private folder. Bookmark personal notes only become shared if the folder that contains the bookmarked items is shared.

Options for managing bookmarks include:

Renaming Bookmarks and Editing Personal Notes

The default name of each bookmark in a filing cabinet is the title of the linked resource item. A bookmark's title and personal notes may be edited at any time. An edit personal note hyperlink will be shown instead of the add personal note for items with personal notes.

1. Visit your Filing Cabinet.
2. Select the folder that contains the bookmark to edit.
3. Click the Edit Personal Note link.
4. Type in a new title for the bookmark if desired.
5. Type in personal notes for the bookmark if desired.
6. Click the Save Changes button.

Personal notes are private unless the folder containing the bookmark becomes shared. Personal notes may be deleted by a user at any time, however a title is required for each bookmark.
