The Bookmark tab allows you easy access to the bookmark list; it also provided all of the tools needed to manage and share the bookmarks. It does NOT actually create bookmarks - that requires the two functions found in the Bookmarks menu (see the details below). The Bookmarks tab can be opened either from Bookmarks > Open Bookmarks Tab, which will open it in the default right portrait tray, OR from View > Tabs > Bookmarks, which will allow you to open it in any of the three trays or as an independent window. For more details about this tab, see Bookmark Panel.
The Bookmark Manager will allow you to work with your saved bookmarks. It will allow you to edit your bookmark names, or edit the bookmark list. You can set up separate folders for each user, allowing for individual bookmarks; the Bookmark Manager will allow you to also switch between these folders. Finally, the Bookmark Manager will allow you to export or import IGB bookmarks; this allows these bookmark files to be shared between (distant) users. Note: We strongly recommend that you occasionally export and save your bookmarks to provide a back up file. This will allow recovery of your bookmarks in case of catastrophic failure of the program.

Both the folders and separators can be created using the helpful side buttons (blue box).
