Using the Bookmarks Sidebar Module

Defining and Using Bookmarks

When you find a web page that you would like to return to in the future, you can store its URL as a bookmark, which makes it very easy to go back to that page at any time. You do this by adding the web page to the Bookmarks Sidebar module. The bookmarks on the Bookmarks Sidebar module are the same as the bookmarks on the Browser's Bookmarks menu. The Bookmarks Sidebar module makes them easier to access, since you can keep them visible while you are browsing the Internet.

The Bookmarks Sidebar module has two views:

• Collapsed as a mini-module

  

  The Bookmarks mini-module appears as a button that you can click to make Bookmarks the active module.

• Expanded as the active module

  

When Bookmarks is the active Sidebar module, it displays any preset and user-defined bookmarks. (Bookmarks to various Yahoo! pages are preset.) If you have organized your bookmarks into folders, the folders are listed in alphabetical order, followed by any bookmarks that are not stored in folders, all within the My Bookmarks folder.

Two special-purpose folders appear in the Bookmarks module after the My Bookmarks folder:

• The Read Later folder contains bookmarks you want to save temporarily for later reading. The Browser automatically removes each Read Later bookmark after you visit the bookmarked page.

• The Start Group folder contains bookmarks to your Start Group web pages.

The bookmarks in your Bookmarks Sidebar module are associated with your Verizon Yahoo! account and are available to you whenever you are signed in to Verizon Yahoo!, no matter whose computer you use. This is a big advantage over standard bookmarks, or favorites, which are not associated with a specific user and cannot be accessed while you are away from home.

When Bookmarks is the active Sidebar module, you can bookmark a web page, and then use that bookmark later to go to that web page.
