Managing bookmarks

Notes can be used for bookmarks and display an external link icon on the note preview in the note list view.

Click on the Gear icon and select Settings.

Opening the Gear icon menu reveals the Settings option needed to reach your account controls.

Find the Bookmarks section in Preferences (the default view in Settings). Add or create one or more tags that will be associated with bookmarks. I recommend using Bookmarks, but it can be whatever you want.

Screenshot of the Bookmarks setting, reading: “Notes with the following tag(s) will display a clickable external link icon in the notes list for the first URL mentioned in a note, allowing you to visit the bookmarked site directly without opening the note.” A “Bookmark” tag is entered below.

Add the tag(s) to a note.

All notes with a tag associated with the Bookmarks setting will now display an external link icon in the note preview in the notes list view. The link is always the first URL found in the note.

To view all of your bookmarks, type the tag in the filter bar or click the tag on a note preview.

Save bookmarks with one click

You can also save any web page as a bookmark in one click using the browser extension or bookmarklet. See saving bookmarks with the browser extension.
