[[File:NewLocation.png|thumb|New Location (bookmark) window.]]
There are two main ways of creating bookmarks.
Bookmarks are created through the New Location window The window has the following fields:
* '''Label''' - The name of the bookmark. Pre-filled with for
** coordinate bookmarks - "Spot in <''System name''> solar system"
** object bookmarks - the name of the object
* '''Notes''' - Optional field for notes about the bookmark <!-- Appears to be only visible in the new and edit window -->


If you wish to bookmark your current location there are several methods:
{{Important note box|
* Open the Neocom "Personal -> Locations" window and Select "Add Location" at the bottom and it will open up a new window that will allow you to bookmark the location you are presently at in space.
Don’t try to write labels and notes in stressful situations - just save the bookmark.
* Open the Locations shortcut in the Neocom bar and Select "Add Location" at the bottom and it will open up a new window that will allow you to bookmark the location you are presently at in space.
}}
* Faster way is to use the "Save location..." hotkey. The default is {{button|CTRL}} + {{button|B}}.


If you wish to bookmark the location of an object on grid you can right-click an item in space or on your overview and select “Save Location”. Or use the radial menu to do the same.
* '''Folder''' - A selection list with the available (sub-)folders where the bookmark will be saved. The folder of the last saved bookmark is kept as the active selection
* '''Expiry''' - The automatic delete time. Choose an option by selecting the corresponding radio button. The setting of the last saved bookmark is kept on a per folder base
** Never
** In 2 Days
** In 3 Hours


The only difference between these methods is that using the first method bookmarks your ship's current position in space while the second method bookmarks another entity's location in space. You can bookmark cans, POS (Player Owned Station), wrecks, and various site locations found during core probing. You can often even bookmark objects that do not have the "warp to" option. This is useful if you are trying to position yourself on large grids.
Bookmarks are saved when the {{Button|Submit}} button is clicked. When saving a coordinate bookmark the saved coordinates are from the position the ship is in when the button is clicked, even when in mid-move/warp. Object bookmarks save the coordinates from the object regardless of where your ship is.


'''Tips and tricks'''
[[File:Warning existing location.png|thumb|Warning existing object bookmark]]
* Probes in space can be bookmarked, useful for creating perches on gates for example. See [[Bookmarking probes]]
* {{Co|Yellow|Important:}} When an object is destroyed or moved the bookmark still points to the original position
* Expiry can not be edited, but it can be canceled.
* The same label can be used for multiple bookmarks. Identical labels will <em>not</em> overwrite each other.
* Creating a second bookmark of the same object will cause a warning. If the warning is ignored a new bookmark is created for that object.
* Opening the New Location window when docked will start the creation of an object bookmark. This will not change when undocking


'''Important:'''
=== Open the New Location window ===<!-- Full text because of multiple open the XXX window sections -->
* You can bookmark many entities in space, but if the item's location is changed by force or is destroyed, the bookmark will only indicate the original location coordinates.
The window can be opened in several ways:
* The 'Add location' command works both when you are at a dead stop or while moving - including warping. '''The coordinates you bookmark will indicate the exact location when you click the 'Submit' button and confirm the bookmark.'''
** One exception to the above occurs if you open the 'Add location' window in a station. If you undock and use that 'Add location' window in space, the bookmark will be set at the station and NOT at the point in space you were at when 'ok' was clicked.


=== Tips and tricks ===
For coordinate bookmarks.
* Any bookmark folder or subfolder can be opened into separate window by double-clicking the folder.
* Open the [[#Open the Locations window|Locations]] window and click the Add Location button.
* Don’t try to write labels and notes in stressful situations - just take the necessary bookmark. The client will give an automatic label to the bookmark. You can even use the same label for different bookmarks. Because their coordinates are different, they won’t overwrite each other.
* Use the hot-key (default: {{Button|CTRL}}+{{Button|B}}).
* Bookmarks can be moved between folders and subfolders by dragging them to the new location. Opening the target folder in separate window makes the dragging much easier.
 
* Bookmarks can be copied from one folder to another by holding {{button|shift}} key while dragging (up to 10 at a time).
For object bookmarks
* Bookmark window shows various information on the bookmark in separate columns: Label, type, distance, solar system, constellation, region, creation date, expiry and creator. The folder contents can be sorted by any of them.
* Use the right-click option Save Location on an object (some objects, like ships, can not be saved and thus do not have the option)
* Bookmarks that are in your current system are highlighted with green.
** This option will work on, among others, - brackets in space - objects in the overview - objects in the market window - objects in the agent mission offer window - linked objects and agents in chat , mail and the notebook, anomalies and fully identified (green - 100%) signatures in the probe window and more.
* You can bookmark probes in space, useful for creating perches on gates for example. See [[Bookmarking probes]]
* Use the radial menu. The push-pin on the second level.
* Open the Locations window and click the Add Location button (Only when docked).
