## Managing Your Bookmarks

### Overview of the Epiphany Bookmarks System

The &fr; bookmark system is quite different from the hierarchical file folder method used by most browsers. This design is in keeping with two design principles:

- Building a browser with the simplest interface possible.

- Avoiding the need for the user to remember addresses of sites that the user wants to visit.

&fr; follows a database like approach to organise bookmarks. An address related to a bookmark is stored with some metadata associated with it. This metadata is then used to retrieve a bookmark later.

In the &fr; bookmark system, addresses are organised by associating each address with one or more topics. For example, if one were to store a bookmark for GNOME Developers home page, in any other browser, the user might store it under the following hierarchy:

    Development -> GNOME -> GNOME developers home page

In &fr;, the same page could be associated with two topics:

    Development -> GNOME developers home page
    GNOME -> GNOME developers home page

Now the user can access this bookmark by typing the topic "GNOME" or "Development" in the location bar. The user can also type in any of the words "GNOME", "developers", "home" or "page" in the location bar. Either of these methods drops a list containing the required bookmark. For all ways to access bookmarks, see

Subtopics

&fr; allows you to create a single level of topics. Sub-topics are created automatically based on your existing bookmarks and topics.

As a user, you may have a very specific way of arrange your bookmarks into a hierarchy. Epiphany does not support the ability to explicitly construct a hierarchy, and so sometimes you might get frustrated that the hierarchy &fr; builds isn't exactly what you want.

To ensure that you get the best hierarchy possible:

- Use topics that will come to mind first when trying to recall the bookmark.

- Use multiple topics for bookmarks.

### To Access a bookmark

The primary way to access bookmarks is the bookmarks window. To open the bookmarks window, see . A separate window is used for organising bookmarks because that makes it easier to navigate, and also allows it to have search and edit functionalities in the same place. The bookmarks collection can be directly edited from the desktop. In the same place, it is now possible to edit the bookmark title inline, add more topics, remove bookmarks, associate them with more topics with drag and drop, edit properties of a bookmark, etc.

The bookmarks can also be accessed by:

- Typing in a topic in the location bar of the main window drops down a list of bookmarks of that category.

- A word typed into the location bar are automatically searched in the bookmark database and matching bookmarks are shown in a drop down list below the location bar.

- The menu item Bookmark gives a menu of all the different topics. Bookmarks related to these topics can then be accessed from submenus here. This is closest to the traditional method of accessing bookmarks, and is provided to keep compatibility.

- Bookmarks and topics can be added to the toolbars for easy access. To add a bookmark or topic to a toolbar, drag it from the bookmarks window to the toolbar.

### To Create a New Bookmark

You can create new bookmarks in several ways.

Browser Window

  - To bookmark the currently viewed page, choose Bookmarks Add Bookmark... .
