Creating Bookmarks

Adding bookmarks

The easiest way to create a bookmark is to click the icon in the address bar. Here are other ways that you can quickly create bookmarks:

• Use keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+D (Mac: ⌘-D)

• Import bookmarks from other browsers via the Chrome menu

• Manually add a bookmark. Right-click the bookmarks bar and select Add page.

• Drag a link from the page that you're viewing to the Bookmarks bar or a bookmark folder to create a bookmark for the link. Similarly, you can also drag the globe or lock icon in the address bar to create a bookmark for your current page.

Finding bookmarks

If you can’t remember where you filed that one bookmark, search for it directly from the address bar. Type the name of the bookmark and look for the icon next to the results that appear, which indicates matches from your bookmarks.

You can also see all your bookmarks in 3 places:

• Bookmarks bar: The bar is docked under your address bar by default for easy access. If you don’t see it, you can find it by opening a new tab. To toggle the display of the bar, just press Ctrl+Shift+B (Mac: ⌘-Shift-B).

• Bookmarks menu: Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar and select Bookmarks.

• Bookmark manager: The bookmark manager makes it easy for you to organize bookmarks. Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar and go to Bookmarks > Bookmark manager.

Showing / Hiding the Bookmarks bar

The bookmarks bar contains all your bookmarks and bookmark folders created in Google Chrome. You can dock the bar directly underneath the address bar at the top of the browser window for easy access to your favorite sites.

Showing the bookmarks bar

1. Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.

2. Select Bookmarks.

3. Select Always show bookmarks bar.

You can also use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows and Chrome OS) and ⌘-Shift-B (Mac) to toggle the bar on and off.

Hiding the bookmarks bar

Right-click (or control-click on a Mac) the bookmarks bar and deselect Always show bookmarks bar. When the bookmarks bar is undocked, you can always find it at the top of the New Tab page.

Managing items on the bookmarks bar

• Move bookmarks or folders around - Simply click the item that you want to move and drag it to its new destination on the bar.

• Add a new bookmark or bookmark folder - Right-click anywhere on the bar and select either Add page or Add folder.

• Edit a bookmark or folder - Right-click (or control-click on a Mac) the item you'd like to edit and select either Rename (if it's a folder) or Edit (if it's a bookmark).

• Delete a bookmark or folder - Right-click the item and select Delete
