After upgrading to the new Yahoo! Bookmarks, if you do not see all your previous bookmarks, follow the instructions below to reimport your Yahoo! Bookmarks:
- Sign in to bookmarks.yahoo.com.
- Scan your My Folders list to see if it contains a folder titled "Imported Bookmarks" and "MyWeb Bookmarks". The bookmarks you are looking for may be in one of these folders.
If you do not find the bookmarks you missed, follow the recommendation below that best describes your situation:
- If you did not use the original My Web to bookmark or there is not a "MyWeb Bookmarks" folder, follow the instructions below to reimport Yahoo! Bookmarks.
- If you were an original My Web user and added bookmarks using the original My Web product, because this product no longer exists, the only copy of those bookmarks is now the imported link in Yahoo! Bookmarks.
To avoid losing any bookmarks that were saved using the original My Web, before reimporting:
- Identify any bookmarks you added using the original My Web (They are imported to the MyWeb Bookmarks folder and sub-folders.)
- Move them out of the MyWeb Bookmarks folder. Either select and drag the bookmark to the "Uncategorized" folder or select the sub-folder that contains them, click edit, and select a new parent folder for the contents of that folder.
This will ensure that bookmarks saved using the original My Web, and already successfully imported, will be not be lost. You may then safely delete the MyWeb Bookmarks folder and reimport your bookmarks.
To Reimport Yahoo! Bookmarks:
- From bookmarks.yahoo.com, click the "Tools" link in the upper-right corner. The Bookmarks Tools page opens.
- Click "Import Bookmarks."
- At "From Yahoo! Bookmarks," click the Import button.
Note: Typically, imported bookmarks appear in less than 2 minutes but it could take 10+ minutes for all imported bookmarks to appear.
