Bookmarking To bookmark a page, simply navigate to the page, open the Diigo menu, and click "Save". The bookmark options dialog will open.  Bookmarking Options The bookmark options dialog lets you customize everything about he bookmark including how it will be displayed and organized in your library.  Title At the top of the dialog is the title box. You can edit the bookmark title to anything you would like. Many websites do not use descriptive titles on their pages, so it will be beneficial to change the title to something you will easily recognize and remember in your library. Public/Private Just under the title box is a checkbox with the label “Private”. When this box is checked, the bookmark will be visible only to you until you decide to share it with others. If the box is unchecked, the bookmark will be saved publicly, allowing any Diigo user to view it. Read Later Check “Read Later” to save the page in your library as unread. This way you can easily remember to read articles and other web pages that you don’t currently have time for. Cache Check “Cache” to save the page itself, not just a link to it. This is useful for pages that change commonly. Many blogs use one page to display all recent blog posts. If the post you bookmarked becomes too old to display on the page, it may become difficult to find. If you cache a page, a copy will be made, which will remain exactly as it was when you bookmarked it. Description Adding a description to your bookmark will help you remember why you bookmarked it, and it will serve as an explanation when sharing the bookmark with others. Tags Tags help you organize and filter items in your library. Think of tags as labels for category and topic just like a real library. You can type your own tags or click on any of the tags that appear below the tag entry box to add them. Recent Tags Tags that you have used recently will appear just under the tag entry box. This is useful when building a specific collection because it is easy to tag the items you’re collecting with matching labels. Recommended Recommended tags will display words that are often repeated in the webpage you are bookmarking. For example, articles about technology use the word “technology” often, so it will be a recommended label. Add to a List Share to a Group “Share to a Group” is similar. Simply choose one of your groups. A copy of the bookmark will be saved and shared with the desired group. Edit URL Edit URL is an advanced option. If you click the chain link icon in the title box on the bookmark options dialog, you can edit the URL. This may be useful if you want to exclude certain things such as search terms from the saved bookmark’s URL. |
