== How do we create bookmarks? ==

There are two simple ways of creating bookmarks. The first ~~way~~ is to use the "People & Places" window and go to the "Places" tab. Select "Add Location" at the bottom and you will bookmark the location you are presently at in space.

The only ~~major~~ difference between ~~those two are, in~~ the first ~~way you bookmark~~ your ship's current position~~. In~~ the second method ~~you are bookmarking an~~ entity's location in space ~~other than your ship's~~. You can bookmark cans, POS (Player Owned Station), wrecks and various site locations found during core probing.

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.

=== Important: ===

You can bookmark many entities in space but if the location of the item is changed by force or is destroyed, the bookmark will only indicate the original location coordinates.

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 ~~out~~ in space it will be set at the station and NOT at the point in space you were at when 'ok' was clicked.

=== Tips & Tricks: ===

Don’t try to write labels and notes in ~~strict~~ 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.
