Bookmarks
Bookmarks are for collecting files or folders you use often, lifting them out of deep directory trees into the sidebar for one-click access. Unlike 03-Knowledge-Management/06-Tags, bookmarks are a purely personal way of organizing things and are not written into note content.
Note
The sidebar "Bookmarks" tab is placed in the left sidebar by default. Bookmarks are saved per vault, so switching vaults switches to that vault's bookmark set.
Adding a Bookmark
- Right-click a file or folder in the file tree.
- Choose "Bookmark".
- In the "Add bookmark" dialog, fill in:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Path | Filled in automatically and not editable |
| Title | A custom display name; leave empty to show the original file name |
| Group | Choose an existing group, or click "+ New" to create one |
- Click "Save".
Tip
The "More" menu at the top of the editor also has "Bookmark", so you can bookmark the current note without switching back to the file tree.
The Bookmarks Panel
Open the sidebar "Bookmarks" tab to see all bookmarks, collapsed by group:
- Items without a group fall under "Ungrouped"
- Clicking a bookmark opens the corresponding file
- Dragging a bookmark moves it across groups — drop it on a group header to assign it there
- With no vault open the panel shows a hint; with no bookmarks in the vault it shows an empty-state guide
Context Menu
On a Bookmark Item
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Open in new window | Open the file in a separate window |
| Edit title | Change the bookmark's display name (empty restores the original file name) |
| Remove bookmark | Remove it from bookmarks |
| Copy path | Copy the file / folder's absolute path |
On a Group
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Rename | Change the group name |
| Delete group | Delete the group (the bookmarks inside are reassigned) |
Tips
- Bookmark high-frequency entry points such as an "index page / to-do / project home"
- Create groups by purpose, e.g. "Writing", "Projects", "Reference"
- Bookmarks record only paths and never copy files; if a file is moved or deleted, the bookmark may stop working
