In IGB 6.7, adding a bookmark either Bookmarks > Add Bookmark, or clicking the 'star plus' icon in the Bookmarks tab will open a new window. You can choose to have this window always offer you the default name (which is the Genome Version, followed by the chromosomal location) by leaving the Use Default Name box checked. You can change, add to or alter the name from this window. You can also add any commentary you like in this window, especially information about the experiments, what you analysis is, the lab who sent these bookmarks, etc. Anything you like can go in this box, and it will be remembered, but remain editable. Chose Position Only or Position and Data option (details below) and then click OK.
Position and Data bookmarks
...
Position Only bookmarks only contain the location data and zoom level; you need to open any associated data sets or file to use these bookmarks. Using this type of bookmark will zoom in to a genomic location and zoom level within the currently opened data. You may wish to indicate that this is a Position Only bookmark in the name or commentary.
Managing bookmarks
To create a bookmark, choose Bookmarks > Add position & data Bookmark or Bookmarks > Add position bookmark. As you create bookmarks, both the Bookmark menu and the Bookmark tab will become populated with the list of bookmark names. To load a view from a bookmark, just click on the name of the bookmark in either list.
If you find that you need to organize your bookmarks, the Bookmark Manager or Bookmark tab has several options. First, simply click and drag the name of a bookmark to move it around within the list. You can create folders and sub-folders to group your bookmarks; you can also create separators to help with organization. Both the folders and separators can be created using the helpful side buttons (blue box). You can also delete a bookmark by selecting it and clicking the trashcan icon (purple boxOrganizing your bookmarks is simple and easy. Create folders with names (and comments if you like) and separators, then drag and drop bookmarks into folders. If you select an item to delete, you will be asked to be sure that this is what you want to do (this pop-up can be turned off).
You can view details about your bookmarks, such as their position, which genome they refer to, or customizations. Right click the selected bookmark or click within the bookmark manager window the Properties button (left side or bottom button in red). This will open the Properties to see the Properties window with all of the information. If you make changes, click Apply Changes or Cancel; changes will not take effect unless you choose Apply Changes.

To save a copy of the bookmarks to a file, choose Bookmarks > Export Bookmarks (red box'arrow up from the box' icon). Bookmarks are saved in a single file in the Netscape bookmarks file format. This format resembles XML and HTML, but is not identical to either of those, so use caution if you choose to edit the file. This file can be saved for back-up purposes and/or shared with others
