<h1>Bookmarks</h1>
<p>
Scid allows you to <b><i><font color="#990000">bookmark</font></i></b> important games for easy
future reference. The bookmarks menu is available from the
<b><font color="#007000">[File]</font></b> menu, the toolbar, or the <B>Ctrl+B</b> shortcut key.
</p>
<p>
When you select a bookmarked game from the Bookmarks menu, Scid will
open its database if necessary, find that game, and move to the game
position at which it was bookmarked.
</p>
<p>
Only games in a Scid format database (not a PGN file or the clipbase)
can be bookmarked.
</p>
<p>
If the database of a bookmarked game is sorted or compacted, the bookmark
details may become out of date. When that happens, Scid will search the
database for the best matching game (comparing player names, site, etc)
when the bookmark is selected, so the bookmarked game should still be
loaded. However, if details of the bookmarked game change, it is possible
that a different game will match the bookmark details better and be
loaded instead. So it is a good idea to re-bookmark a game if you edit
its players, site, result, round or year.
</p>

<h3>Editing bookmarks</h3>
<p>
With the bookmark editor, you can change the menu text displayed for
each bookmarked game and add folders to categorize bookmarks.
</p>

<h3>Hints</h3>
<p>
You can use bookmarks for fast access to databases you use often
by bookmarking a game from each database. Another good use for
bookmarks is to add important games you find when studying a
particular chess opening.
</p>
<p>
The bookmarks menu contains an entry for controlling the display of
bookmark folders: they can be shown as submenus (useful when there are
many bookmarks), or as a single list.
