This is part of the Spiceworks Community field-guide.
We are all familiar with the concept of bookmarking something on the internet to refer to it later. But did you know you can set a reminder and 'name' them so you can remember why you bookmarked it in the Spiceworks Community?
How to bookmark a Topic
Bookmarking a topic is super easy. Simply go to the end of the topic and you will see a 'Bookmark' button where you can Share, Flag, and Reply.
How to bookmark a Reply
Not only can you bookmark a topic, but you can bookmark a specific reply within a topic. Go to the reply you want to save, click the 'overflow' menu (also called the 'meatball' menu or the three dots menu), and you will see a small bookmarking icon. Click it!
Bookmark options
When you use the Bookmark option, a modal window will appear with a few options. You can click 'Save', and it will do so normally, but with no name or a reminder.
Adding a note to your Bookmark
You'll see 'What is this bookmark for?' in the modal window, and this is where you can name it or write a note. This is extremely useful when you want something to help you remember why you bookmarked it. Don't worry; this is an optional field.
Setting a Reminder for your Bookmark
There may be times you come across a great topic, but you can't engage in it yet, or you simply want to be reminded of it later. When in the Bookmark modal window, you'll see 'Remind me' options for Tomorrow, This weekend, Monday, Next month, Custom date and time, or None needed. The last option is the default one.
Even more options!
Another option you will see is 'After you are notified, where you can set this to Keep bookmark, Keep bookmark and clear reminder (this is the default option), Delete bookmark, or Delete bookmark, once I reply.
Don't forget to click Save
Once you have set up your note and or your reminder, simply click 'Save' and you're ready to go.
Finding and using your Bookmarks
Bookmarks aren't nearly as useful if you can't find them. If you're looking for quick access to them, you'll find the 'Bookmark' icon on your avatar pulldown menu. Simply click it, and you will see your latest bookmarks.
You will find your list of Bookmarks also on your member profile activity page. From here, you can see what you named the bookmark and the time the reminder will be sent. You can also search your bookmarks!
