How do I create a Bookmark?

Answer

Bookmarks are a great way to save and organize web pages that you access frequently. This example was created in Chrome, but the steps are similar in Edge and Firefox.

To create a bookmark:  

Step 1: Open an internet browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox).

By default, folders are added directly to your bookmark bar. If you would like to subsume a folder within another folder, you can now drag that folder into another folder.

You can delete, edit, or move your bookmarks at any time by returning to the Bookmark Manager page.
