As time goes by you will create a lot of bookmarks and if you don’t organize and manage them, you will mess them up. This section presents some basic techniques ~~you~~ can ~~use~~ to avoid that. The following are not strict rules. They are, however, built upon solid experience. In time, ~~you should~~ feel free to develop your own style and system.

=== Label ===

The most important part of organizing bookmarks is labeling. In stressful situations, you have to be able to recognize the right bookmark and use it in an instant. Therefore, bookmark labels need to have a standard, easily recognizable format. It is important to create - and use - an efficient way to label ~~your~~ bookmarks from the beginning. You will thank yourself in the future.

This information is visible in (sort-able) columns on the Locations window and apart from Label and Expiry (limited) can not be edited.

Try not to use information already available in the Locations window for bookmark labels, and keep it as simple as possible because you may need to find ~~your~~ bookmark in an instant in case of an emergency or a strict situation.

=== Locations window ===

The Locations window is the central repository of ~~your~~ bookmarks. It has a three level structure of root-folders, folders and sub-folders.

The Locations window is the central repository of bookmarks. It has a three level structure of root-folders, folders and sub-folders.

Folders and sub-folders can be used to organize ~~your~~ bookmarks. ~~You can use~~ (sub-)folders to arrange ~~your~~ bookmarks according to their uses. Folders are also used to control the availability and the visibility in space (see {{Section link| |Folder status}}).

Folders and sub-folders can be used to organize bookmarks. (sub-)folders can be used to arrange bookmarks according to their uses. Folders are also used to control the availability and the visibility in space (see {{Section link| |Folder status}}).

A folder, of any level, can be opened in its own window by using the right-click menu option "Open Group Window" or double-clicking the folder. Opening a folder in its own window automatically collapses the folder in the Locations window. Expanding that folder in the Locations window will close the stand-alone folder.

Line 191:

Bookmark data is divided over 9 columns: Label, Type, Jumps, SOL, CON, REG, Date, Expiry and Creator (See {{Section link| |Label}}) for a description).

Bookmarks that are in the current system are high-lighted, with the color depending on the Color Theme ~~used~~.

Line 214:

These folders are controlled by the game.

; Offline Folders : When one or more folders have the offline status this folder is created and the offline folders are placed in it. When there are no more folders with offline status this folder is automatically removed. This folder can exist in both Personal- and Shared Folders
