# Organizing bookmarks

You use the bookmarks list to organize bookmarks.

Note:You’ll have one or more of the following special collections that you can’t reorganize or change: History, Address Book, Bonjour, and All RSS Feeds.

To view the bookmarks list:

1. Click the open-book icon. The sidebar on the left shows collections, such as History, Bookmarks Bar, and Bookmarks Menu, that are already set up. If you have added your own collections, they also appear in the sidebar.

2. To see the contents of a collection, click the collection’s name.

If you can’t see the list of bookmarks because Cover Flow view is covering it, drag up on the handle below the Cover Flow scroll bar.

To create a new collection:

1. Click the Add (+) button at the bottom of the sidebar. A folder icon appears in the sidebar.

2. Replace the name “untitled folder” with a name of your choosing.

To add a subfolder to a collection:

- Select the collection, and then click the Add (+) button at the bottom of the list of bookmarks at the right.

- You can also nest collections by dragging one collection into another.

To move and copy bookmarks:

1. Select the collection that currently has the bookmark.

2. Drag the bookmark from the bookmark list to the left sidebar, and drop it on the collection where you want to keep it.

   To keep the bookmark in both collections, hold down the Option key as you drag.

To reorder bookmarks and collections:

Drag them up and down. You can reorder only collections you’ve added yourself.

Bookmark preferences also affect the way your bookmarks are organized, and they determine whether bookmarks from your address book and from devices in your local network are included.
