Bookmarks are shared by placing them in a shared folder. | |||
Access to a shared folder is governed by [[Access Lists]]. Before you create the shared folder you will need to create at least one access list to be used for the folder. | |||
Shared folders have four different levels of access. Higher access levels include all the features of lower access levels. | |||
# '''View access''': View and warp to locations. | |||
# '''Use access''': Add locations, edit/delete locations added by yourself, copy locations, add subfolders, edit/delete subfolders added by yourself. | |||
# '''Manage access''': Edit/delete locations and subfolders. | |||
# '''Admin access''': Delete/rename the shared folder, access management. Additionally, the shared folder is visible without getting a link. | |||
Just having access rights to the folder is not enough to make the folder visible to other people. To share the folder simply drag the folder into chat or mail. This creates a clickable link for the folder. If someone with access to the folder clicks this link they get the shared folder added to their Locations window. | |||
The | The exception to the above is Admin access. If you have Admin access to a shared folder you can always find it in your Locations window. | ||
To create a shared folder: | |||
If you haven't already done so, create an [[Access Lists|Access List]] and add the contacts you wish to share the folder with to the list. | |||
* Open the "Locations" window ('''Neocom -> Personal -> Locations''', default shortcut {{button|L}}) | |||
* Click the '''Create Folder''' button | |||
* Enter a folder name (Required) | |||
* Enter notes (Optional) | |||
* Select the '''Shared folder''' option and: | |||
** Assign an access list for '''Admin access''' (Required) | |||
** Assign access lists to the other access levels as wanted (Optional) | |||
* Click {{Button|Submit}} | |||

The bookmark system before December 2019 had very different system for bookmark sharing. There were no shared bookmark folders, instead, each corporation had single corporation wide folder. Bookmarks could also be turned into items and traded with other players with contracts. | |||

Online bookmark folders are active and can be viewed and used. Offline bookmark folders are inactive and cannot be viewed or used. Note that "visible in space" and "offline" are two separate states. Offline bookmarks are separated into "Offline folders" section in Locations window. Bookmark folders can be onlined and offlined by right clicking them and selecting the appropriate menu item. | Online bookmark folders are active and can be viewed and used.

There are many types of bookmarks, but all capsuleers should at least have some basic bookmarks to travel in space safely and avoid traps or hunts. Depending on your role or operation you could extend your repertoire to various bookmarks. | There are many types of bookmarks, but all capsuleers should at least have some basic bookmarks to travel in space safely and avoid traps or hunts.

Never warp to within 'zero' of your safe spot. This will reduce your chance of being detected or compromising your safe spot location. And always move rather than sit still, so even if your location is known your adversaries will not be able to land to you at zero. | Never warp to within 'zero' of your safe spot.

When you warp to any location your ship will land approximately 2500 meters away from the target. On stations, this means that you can land outside of the docking range and are vulnerable to ganks as you approach the station. This is especially dangerous at trade hubs where gankers may try to kill you. Instadock bookmarks solve this issue. | When you warp to any location your ship will land approximately 2500 meters away from the target.

Tactical bookmarks are bookmarks that are on grid with a point of interest (such as station or stargate) but far enough that hostiles on the grid will not be a danger to you and [[Tackling#Warp disruption fields|drag bubbles]] will not drag you. They should be at minimum 200 km away so that warping between the target and the bookmark is always possible.<br> | Tactical bookmarks are bookmarks that are on grid with a point of interest (such as station or stargate) but far enough that hostiles on the grid will not be a danger to you and [[Tackling#Warp disruption fields|drag bubbles]] will not drag you.

Once you have established this collection of bookmarks around a station, you can extend the thinking to key stargates within the system. The "high ground" of a stargate is either the path that is furthest away from the sun or furthest away from your home station. | Once you have established this collection of bookmarks around a station, you can extend the thinking to key stargates within the system.

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. | 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.
