Get started and installing the bookmark button
Follow these steps to install the browser toolbar button and get started using Bookmarks.
There are two ways to create a bookmark. If we know the URL to bookmark can click the Public Bookmarks or My Bookmarks tab and click the Add Bookmark button.
Fill in the form to create a bookmark to the URL we specify.
To bookmark from a web page you visit allow the steps to install the browser button so we can add a bookmark to a site to share or revisit.
- If we have not done so already, install the Add Bookmark browser toolbar button from the Bookmarking Tools link in the footer of the Bookmarks window.
- Visit a web page to bookmark and click the Add Bookmark toolbar button to create a bookmark. Provide a title description and tags that describe the bookmark. Indicate whether you want the bookmark to be Public so that other users can see it, or Private, available only to you. We can also choose to add the bookmark to other Connections applications deployed for the organization. For example add a bookmark to a Community so it is available to the user group.
We can also add a Discuss This browser button which will allow you to re-post web pages as topics for discussion in your forums. For more information on the Discuss This button the Forums help.
