About Bookmarks

A bookmark is an internal reference to portal content that enables you to quickly return to the content. You use bookmarks to maintain a list of portal content items that you can refer to later. Generally, bookmarks are used to maintain a list of content items for short-term use. For long-term use of content items, it is recommended that you add content items to a collection portlet on one of your portal pages.
You can do the following tasks with bookmarks:
  • Bookmark content items that you find by using the search tool. The bookmarked items are then displayed in your Bookmarks portlet.
    Note: If your Bookmarks portlet does not appear on any of your portal pages, then you can add it. For instructions, see Add Your Bookmarks Portlet.
  • Place bookmarked content items in a new collection portlet
  • Publish bookmarks to other users
  • E-mail bookmarks to other users
  • Remove bookmarks from your Bookmarks portlet.
You can also edit your Bookmarks portlet in order to specify whether you want the portlet to display the location and description of each bookmarked item below the item's name. See Edit Your Bookmarks Portlet.
