Bookmarking important websites

Why bookmark sites?

  • Quickly access essential tools (e.g., IT portal, email, Updox) without re‑typing the addresses.

  • Organize resources into folders (e.g., “PPSI Tools,” “Insurance Portals”) to keep your browser tidy.

  • Sync bookmarks across devices when you sign into your browser.

Google Chrome – adding a bookmark

  1. Go to the page you want to save.

  2. Click the star icon at the far right of the address bar (or press Ctrl + D) to save the page.

  3. In the pop‑up box, rename the bookmark and choose a folder if you like, then click Done.

  4. The bookmark appears on your Bookmarks bar. You can find it later via the Chrome menu (three dots) under Bookmarks or directly on the bar.

  5. To organize or edit bookmarks, open the Bookmark Manager from the Chrome menu → BookmarksBookmark manager.

Microsoft Edge – adding a favorite

  1. Open Edge and navigate to the page you want to save.

  2. Click the Add this page to favorites button (the star icon) in the address bar.

  3. Rename the favorite and pick a folder, then select Done.

  4. To add multiple tabs at once, open Settings and more > Favorites and choose Add current tab to favorites or Add all tabs to favorites.

  5. Your favorites will appear under the Favorites menu or on the favorites bar if it’s enabled.

Tips for all browsers

  • Organize your bar: create folders and drag bookmarks into them.

  • Clean up regularly: remove bookmarks you no longer use.

  • Enable syncing: sign into Chrome or Edge with your work account so bookmarks carry over to other computers or mobile devices.
