If a tag is active, only folders that have a tagged item nested inside will show. This allows you to leverage the power of tags and folders together. For example, you could use a general 'to read' tag and organize them all in different folders.

Let's say you are in a class and want to be able to share resources or you want to share recipes with your friends. You can easily do this by collaborating on a folder.

To collaborate on a folder, right-click the folder and select, "Share" and then select, "Invite people to collaborate by email."

To clip part of a website, highlight it, copy it, and paste it into a note. Bookmark OS will try and preserve the formatting and style of your clip so that it looks the same as the webpage. As an example, you could copy and paste the ingredients and instructions from a recipe to preserve it in case the website goes away.

Narrow down search results by including the domain in your search query. For example, if you wanted to find all chicken recipes on epicurious.com, you could search for, "chicken epicurious."

If the items you want to select are not all visible on the screen at once, you can select them all by holding shift and clicking on the bottom most item. This will select all items starting from the top to where you click.

You can open multiple bookmarks into new tabs all at once by highlighting the bookmarks, right-clicking, and selecting, "Open in new tab."

If you are importing bookmarks, chances are that you will have some old bookmarks that no longer work. Either the content is no longer available or the website itself is gone. Bookmark OS has the option to ping these bookmarks and find their current status which will allow you to easily clear them out.

The following tags will be added to your broken bookmarks, "not loading" and "not found" which will allow you to easily delete them.
