Bookmark basics
This core plugin has replaced the old starred core plugin.
Older features have been maintained and improved.
Some newer bookmark features include:
- Files – Bookmark a file
- Heading – Bookmark a heading in a file
- Folders – Bookmark a folder link
- Search – Bookmark a core search
- Graph – Bookmark all the settings from a graph view
- Canvas – Bookmark a canvas file
Bookmark groups are also very useful.
These are just like folders but any bookmark can be put inside.
Yes. Groups can be nested just like folders.
For me, the custom ordering is one of the biggest reasons to use bookmarks over the files core plugin.
My use cases
My biggest use case is for my canvas dashboards.
But I have other uses such as:
- Template folder – Adding a shortcut
- Book group – Bookmarked headings help with versioning
- Highlight group – Bookmarking top-of-mind sources
As I use Dataview queries I don’t bookmark any search results.
The graph view is also deactivated in my vault as I don’t use it, so I don’t have them bookmarked either.
