How to Use a FOLDER on your BOOKMARK Bar in CHROME

First, make sure your bookmark bar is enabled. (This is the bar that appears below your search box and extensions.) Go to 3 dots > bookmarks, and make sure “Show Bookmarks Bar” is enabled and has a checkmark next to it.
Right-click (or control-click or on your trackpad you can click with two fingers) anywhere on the bookmark bar and select “Add Folder.”
Name your folder and click “Save.”
Now you can click and add your pages into the folder. When you have a website open you can right-click (or control-click or on your trackpad you can click with two fingers) on the Folder on your bookmark bar and then click Add Page.
To open all the websites in the folder at once: right-click on the folder (or control-click) and select “Open All.” You can choose to have these open in the current window, a new window, or incognito.
Do you have current bookmarks that you would like to move to the folder you just made? Go to the bookmark manager - either click on Bookmarks and then bookmark manager at the very top of your screen or click on the 3 dots next to the circle with your initials in it on the address bar and then click on bookmarks and bookmark manager or right-click (click with two fingers on a trackpad) on the bookmark bar and then click on bookmark manager. Click and hold on the three dots to the left of any bookmark and drag it to the folder you want it in - wait until it’s “blue” and then drop or let go. You can also drag and drop right from the bookmark bar into a folder on the bookmark bar!
