| 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.

| === Labeling bookmarks ===
| |
|
| |
| The most important part of organizing your bookmarks is labeling. In stressful situations, you have to be able to recognize the right bookmark and use it in an instant. Therefore, your 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.
| |
|
| |
| You may also use folders to organize your bookmarks.
| |
|
| |
| Before labeling your bookmarks, you should familiarize yourself with the information stored with your bookmarks in the Places tab of the People & Places window.

| |
|
| |
| As you can see in the above illustration, each bookmark automatically contains the following information:
| |
|
| |
| {| style="text-align: left;"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Label:
| |
| | The label is the name you assign to your bookmark
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Type:
| |
| | Type of the bookmark (for example "Station" or "Coordinate")
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Jump:
| |
| | Indicates current number of jumps away from the solar system the bookmark is placed in
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Sol:
| |
| | Solar System the bookmark is placed in
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Con:
| |
| | Constellation the bookmark is placed in
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Reg:
| |
| | Region the bookmark is placed in
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Date:
| |
| | Indicates the date of creation of the bookmark
| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| Avoid using these details in your bookmarks to simplify their labels. Also, you can arrange the location of the columns according to your choice.

| ==== Tips & Tricks ====
| |
|
| |
| *Try not to use information already available in the Places tab 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.
| |
|
| |
| *You can sort your bookmarks according to their jump distance. This way they will be available on top of the list. The bookmarks in the current system are always highlighted with green to help you separate them from the others.
| |
|
| |
| *You may reach your bookmarks through the right-click menu while in space. Only the bookmarks in the current system will show up in this menu.
| |

| |
| === Bookmark folders ===
| |
|
| |
| Using folders is the simplest way to organize your bookmarks. You can use folders to arrange your bookmarks according to your individual style. You also use the folders to choose whether to display a folder's bookmarks in space or not. Clicking the eye icon sets visibility. Green means visible, grey means hidden.

| '''Tips & Tricks '''<br>
| |
| *When you use the right-click menu to reach your bookmarks in space, you will also see your folders there (only those containing bookmarks in the current system though.)
| |
| *Bookmarks in the root folder (not in any of your folders) are extremely easy to access in space - use this to your advantage.
| |
| *If you would like to keep just one bookmark folder open from your People and Places just double click on the folder you want and a copy will be created on your screen and you will be able to close the People and Places tab and the fold you choose will remain.

| |
| === Sharing & Copying Bookmarks ===
| |
|
| |
| You can share your bookmarks with others in-game, but in most situations this is not recommended. Acquiring bookmarks is difficult, and if you share your safespots they will become public and compromised. If you share your bookmarks with your corpmates consider these as being compromised.
| |

|
| |
| ==== Copying Bookmarks ====
| |
|
| |
| To copy your bookmarks, open the Places tab and select all the bookmarks you want to copy. Multiple selections can be made by using the shift key for in-between selection or ctrl for one-by-one selection - however, you can only copy ten at a time. You can only copy your bookmarks to your station hangar or cargo hold.
| |
|
| |
| To COPY your bookmarks, hold the SHIFT key while clicking and dragging the bookmarks to your hangar or the ship's hold.
| |
|
| |
| To MOVE your bookmarks, hold the CTRL key as you drag the bookmarks to your hangar.
| |
|
| |
| If you are finding the bookmark isn't copying or moving, when clicking on your bookmark, you need to select the white space at the front or the end of the bookmark.
| |
|
| |
| You can also share bookmarks with other corporate members in the Corporate Locations under the Places tab in the People & Places tab on your [[NeoCom|NeoCom]]. Any corporate member can create a folder or a bookmark but each addition will log the creators name. In addition, only a corporate member with the 'Communications Officer' role (in EVE University the Sophomore title provides this role) can delete a corporate bookmark. To create a bookmark in Corporate locations just create a personnel bookmark like you normally would then just drag the location down into the corporate folder that you want to place it in. Please be sure to limit the number of bookmarks, as there is a cap of 500. And there are other campuses, and projects that will need them.

|
| |
| ==== Deleting Personal Bookmarks ====
| |
|
| |
| If you copy or move a bookmark into your hanger you no longer need, you will not be able to delete it directly from your hangar. You will need to move it back to your Personal Locations. Once in your Personal Locations you can then right click and select "remove location" from the menu. It would be ideal to setup a separate folder for this. Deleting a copied bookmark will not delete the original if you have multiples of the same bookmark.
| |
|
| |
| <br>
| |
|
| |
| ==== Sharing Bookmarks ====
| |
|
| |
| You can share your bookmarks through trade and contracting in a station or through cans in space. Once you receive bookmarks you will see them in your cargo hold or Items window. Dragging and dropping them into your Places tab will add them to your bookmarks.
| |

| |
|
| |
| === Using Corp Bookmarks ===
| |
|
| |
| Corp bookmarks are designed such that anyone in your corporation can read and create bookmarks, although special roles are required to delete bookmarks. Only those with the Communications Officer role can delete and otherwise manage bookmarks listed in the corp bookmarks are.
| |
|
| |
| Corporation bookmarks are limited to 500 so using these bookmarks in larger corporations require some guidelines. In general, the following should be observed when creating and deleting bookmarks in corporation bookmark folder areas in order to manage large numbers of players who wish to store bookmarks.
