Organize Folders in the Favorites Bar

Organizing, deleting, and renaming folders.

Bookmarks tend to get out of hand. One way to get and keep them under control is to store them in folders. Of course, the process is easier if you set up folders before you start adding and editing bookmarks , but it's never too late to get organized.

The steps and screenshots here were performed in version 13.0.3 of Safari, but they should apply to older versions as well.

The Safari Sidebar

The easiest way to manage your bookmarks is through the Safari sidebar (sometimes referred to as the bookmarks editor). To access the Safari sidebar, click Bookmarks > Show Bookmarks . In older versions of Safari, the menu item might say Show All Bookmarks .

An alternative method to reveal the Safari sidebar is to use the Sidebar button in the Safari toolbar.

With the Safari Sidebar open, you can add, edit, and delete bookmarks, as well as add or delete folders or subfolders.

There are two main places to save bookmarks and bookmark folders : the Favorites bar and the Bookmarks menu.

The Favorites Bar

The Favorites bar is located near the top of the Safari window. It might not be visible depending on how you have Safari set up, but it's easy to enable: Simply select the View > Show Favorites Bar .

The Favorites bar is a great place to keep your favorite websites handy, either as individual links or in folders. The number of individual links you can store horizontally across the toolbar is limited to your screen width, of course, but it allows you to see and access them without clicking a drop-down menu. If you put links rather than folders in the Bookmarks bar, you can access the first nine of them using keyboard shortcuts rather than the mouse.

Using folders rather than links in the Favorites bar makes an almost endless array of websites immediately available from the bar. Otherwise, consider reserving the Favorites bar for sites you visit daily or at least once a week, and store everything else in the Bookmarks menu.

The Bookmarks Menu

The Bookmarks menu provides drop-down access to bookmarks and/or folders of bookmarks, depending on how you decide to organize it. It also provides a second way to access the Favorites bar, as well as bookmark-related commands. If you turn off the Favorites bar, perhaps to gain more screen real estate, you can still access it from the Bookmarks menu.

Adding a folder to the Favorites bar or the Bookmarks menu is easy; the trickier part is deciding how to set up your folders. Some categories, such as News, Sports, Weather, Tech, Work, Travel, and Shopping, are universal, or at least pretty obvious. Others, such as Crafts, Gardening, Woodworking, or Pets, are more personal.

Consider adding a Temp category to hold the sites you might visit briefly but want to return to later, when you have more time. These should be sites you wouldn't bookmark permanently but are interesting enough to check out—just not at the moment. If you corral them in a Temp folder, they will still pile up frighteningly fast, but at least they'll all be in one place.

Naming Your Bookmarks

To add a folder:

Select Bookmarks > Add Bookmark Folder . A new folder named untitled folder will appear at the bottom of the Bookmarks section, ready for you to change it.

Type in a new name, and press Return or Enter .

If you accidentally click away from the folder before you get a chance to name it, right-click the folder and select Edit Name from the pop-up menu. If you change your mind about the folder, right-click it and select Remove (or Delete , depending on your version of Safari) from the pop-up menu.

Select and drag the folder to the Favorites bar or the Bookmarks menu entry in the sidebar, depending on where you want to store it.

Whether you decide to add individual bookmarks or folders to the Favorites bar, keep their names short, so you can fit more of them in. Short names aren't a bad idea in the Bookmarks menu, either, but you have more leeway here because the links display in a hierarchical list.

Adding Subfolders to Folders

If you tend to collect a lot of bookmarks, consider adding subfolders to some of the folder categories. For example, you might have a top-level folder called Home that includes subfolders called Cooking , Decorating , and Gardening . To add a subfolder:

Open the Safari sidebar ( Bookmarks > Show Bookmarks ).

Select the Favorites Bar or the Bookmarks Menu entry, depending on the location of the top-level folder.

Select the target folder and then the right-facing arrow to the left of it to display the folder's contents (even if the folder is empty). If you don't do this, a new folder you create will be added at the same level as the existing folder, rather than within the folder.

From the Bookmarks menu, select Add Bookmark Folder . A new subfolder will appear in the selected folder, with its name ( untitled folder ) highlighted and ready for you to edit. Type in a new name, and press Return or Enter .

If you're having problems getting the subfolders to appear in the selected folder, simply drag the subfolder to the folder you wish to have the subfolder occupy.

To add more subfolders to the same folder, select the folder again, then select Bookmarks > Add Bookmark Folder . Repeat the process until you've added all of the desired subfolders, but resist the urge to get carried away.

Rearranging the folders in the Favorites bar is easy. You can do this two ways: directly in the Favorites bar itself or in the Safari sidebar:

• Select the folder you want to move, and drag it to its target location in the Favorites bar. The other folders will move out of the way to accommodate it.
• Select Bookmarks > Show Bookmarks . In the Safari sidebar, click Favorites. To move a folder, click and hold the folder's icon, then drag it to the desired location. You can move a folder to a different position at the same level in the hierarchy, or drag it into another folder.

The first option is easiest if you're rearranging top-level folders; the second option is the one to choose if you want to rearrange subfolders.

To rearrange your bookmark folders, open the Bookmarks sidebar and simply drag the folders to the desired positions.

To delete a folder from your Bookmarks menu or Favorites bar, right-click on the folder, and select Remove from the pop-up menu.

Check the folder first to be sure that it doesn't contain bookmarks or subfolders that you'd like to save elsewhere.

To rename a folder, right-click it and select Rename ( older versions of Safari used Edit Name instead) from the pop-up menu. The folder's name will be highlighted, ready for you to edit. Type in a new name, and press Return or Enter .

How to Manage Bookmarks and Favorites in Safari on Mac: A Complete Guide

Bookmarks and Favorites in Safari help you keep track of your favorite sites and visit them instantly. Here's how to master them.

Bookmarks and Favorites in Safari are easy ways to keep track of interesting sites you want to visit again later and your favorite sites you visit often. Bookmarks and Favorites have similar, but slightly different, purposes.

Use bookmarks to save links for sites you want to visit again later. Use Favorites to store links to a select few sites you visit often or every time you open Safari.

We'll explain how to manage your bookmarks and Favorites in Safari so you can make the best use of them and keep them organized.

Managing Bookmarks in Safari

Browser bookmarks can quickly get out of hand, especially if you bookmark a lot of sites. So it's a good idea to start organizing your bookmarks into folders early on to keep them under control. But it's never too late to get organized. It just might take a while if you have a large, unorganized collection of bookmarks.

How to Create Bookmark and Favorites Folders

Before adding a bookmark for a site, create a folder to put the bookmark in. First, click Show sidebar , or press Cmd + Control + 1 .

Make sure the Bookmarks button is selected (blue) at the top of the sidebar. Either right-click or Control -click anywhere in the sidebar and select New Folder .

Your Favorites are at the top of this sidebar and you can also use this method for creating Favorites folders.

Enter a name for the folder and press Enter .

To create a new folder in the Bookmarks editor, click New Folder in the upper-right corner of the page.

If you want to add multiple existing bookmarks to a new folder, select the bookmarks and hold down Option as you click New Folder . The selected bookmarks are added to the new folder that you can rename as mentioned above.

How to Add Bookmarks

To add a new bookmark and customize the name, description, and location, click the Share button in the upper-right corner of Safari. Select Add Bookmark .

This enters a default name for the bookmark based on the website title. But you can change the name if you want.

You can also add an optional description for the bookmark, which helps you remember why you bookmarked a page in the first place.

The first time you add a bookmark in Safari, the default folder is Favorites . We'll talk about adding Favorites later. For now, we're going to add the bookmark to the new folder we created above.

Select the folder from the Add this page to dropdown list and click Add . The folder you select becomes the default folder next time you add a bookmark.

To quickly add a bookmark, move your mouse over the address bar. Click and hold the plus icon on the left side of the box.

Select a bookmarks folder from the dropdown list. Safari adds a bookmark with the default name of the page to the selected folder. We'll show you how to edit a bookmark later.

You can also add the page to your Favorites by selecting Favorites or a Favorites folder.

How to Move and Copy Bookmarks and Folders

If you already have a bunch of bookmarks , you can organize them into folders or rearrange them.

Drag the bookmark to a folder or another location on the sidebar. To copy a bookmark instead of moving it, hold down the Option key while you drag it.

This method also works for rearranging Favorites.

How to Rename Bookmarks and Folders

To rename a bookmark or folder, right-click or Control -click on an item in the sidebar and select Rename . You can also force-click to rename. To do this, click and hold on the item until its text highlights.

If you're in the Bookmarks editor, select the bookmark or folder you want to rename, and press Enter .

Enter a new name or change the current one, and press Enter to accept your changes.

This also works for renaming Favorites.

How to Edit the URL for a Bookmark

Safari contains a Bookmarks editor that allows you to edit and delete your bookmarks and Favorites. Go to Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks .

Use the same method we described for renaming bookmarks to change the Address for a bookmark or Favorite. The editor also allows you to edit Website names, but you can't add bookmarks or Favorites in the editor.

How to Edit the Description for a Bookmark

You might want to add descriptions to your bookmarks, so you know why you saved the link to that page. If you forgot to do that for some of your existing bookmarks, you can edit their descriptions.

You can only edit the description for a bookmark on the sidebar, and only if the bookmark is in a folder. This is another good reason for putting bookmarks into folders.

To edit the description for a bookmark, double-click the folder containing the bookmark on the sidebar to expand it. Then, Control -click the bookmark you want to edit and select Edit Description .

The description is highlighted, allowing you to enter new text.

How to Delete Bookmarks

If your bookmarks are cluttered, you may want to delete old ones you don't use anymore.

On the sidebar, either right-click or Control -click the bookmark you want to delete and select Delete .

To delete multiple bookmarks, Cmd -click the bookmarks and press the Delete key.

You can also click and hold on the bookmark's name until it's highlighted. Then click the X to the right of the name.

Both methods also work for deleting Favorites.

How to Search Through Your Bookmarks

If you have a lot of bookmarks, you might find it hard to locate a certain one, even if you've organized them into folders. Thankfully, Safari allows you to search through your bookmarks.

Enter the text you want to search for in the search box at the top of the sidebar or in the upper-right corner of the Bookmarks editor. On the sidebar, you might have to scroll up to see the search box.

Results of the search display as you type. Click on the bookmark to open the page in the current tab.

To clear the search and go back to the full list of bookmarks, click the X button on the right side of the search box.

How to Import Bookmarks From Chrome or Firefox

Have you switched to Safari from Chrome or Firefox ? You can easily import your bookmarks from either browser into Safari.

Go to File > Import From > Google Chrome or File > Import From > Firefox . Check the Bookmarks box on the dialog box and click Import .

You can do this at any time, even if you've imported bookmarks already.

Safari is smart enough to know which bookmarks you've already imported from Chrome or Firefox. So if you import bookmarks again, you'll only get new ones you added to the other browsers. Or if you've deleted some bookmarks you imported, you'll get those back the next time you import.

The bookmarks and folders from Chrome or Firefox are imported at the root level on the sidebar. Use the methods we covered above to rename and rearrange bookmarks and folders, edit descriptions, or delete any imported bookmarks you don't want.

How to Import Bookmarks From an HTML File

You might want to import your bookmarks into a separate folder automatically, so you can keep them separate from the bookmarks you already had in Safari.

You can accomplish this by importing bookmarks from an HTML file, which you can export from Firefox or Chrome. See our guide to exporting Chrome bookmarks for info on this.

Go to File > Import From > Bookmarks HTML File . Then select the HTML file you want to import and click Import .

The imported bookmarks are put into a folder titled Imported with the current date.

Managing Favorites in Safari

The Favorites bar sits just below the address bar at the top of the Safari window. It provides quick access to sites you visit often.

You can only specify one web page as your homepage. But what if you want to open multiple pages every time you open Safari? You can add your favorite pages to your Favorites and have quick access to them when you open Safari.

How to Show the Favorites Bar

Safari stores favorites on the sidebar and in the Bookmarks editor, as we showed you earlier. You can also access them on the Favorites bar.

If you don't see the Favorites bar under the address bar, click Toggle the favorites bar on the toolbar, go to View > Show Favorites Bar , or press Cmd + Shift + B .

Only a certain number of sites will fit on the Favorites bar, so it's best to limit the number of pages you add to your Favorites.

How to View the Favorites Page on the Current Tab

If you want to view and access your Favorites as thumbnails, you can open the Favorites page on the current tab. Go to Bookmarks > Show Favorites .

If you don't see Show Favorites as the first option on the Bookmarks menu, you must make a change in Safari's settings . Go to Safari > Preferences . On the General screen, select Favorites from the New windows open with popup menu.

Your Favorites are available as thumbnails on the current tab.

How to View the Favorites Page on a New Tab

If you want access to Favorites page when you open a new tab, go to Safari > Preferences .

On the General screen, select Favorites from the New tabs open with popup menu. New tabs will now display the Favorites page, which includes Frequently Visited sites at the bottom. We'll show you how to hide the Frequently Visited sites section later.

How to View Favorites From the Smart Search Box

Use the Smart Search box, or address bar, as a quick way to access your Favorites page without leaving the current web page.

Click in the address bar to open the Favorites in a popup window. Then click the icon for the page you want to visit. The Favorites popup window goes away and the selected page opens on the current tab.

How to Change the Bookmarks Folder on the Favorites Page

By default, the Favorites page shows all your Favorites and the folders under Favorites. But you can change this to show only the Favorites in a Favorites folder or a folder of bookmarks.

Go to Safari > Preferences . On the General screen, select the folder you want to view from the Favorites shows popup menu.

The selected folder displays when you open the Favorites page on a new tab or from the Smart Search box.

How to Show/Hide Frequently Visited Sites in Favorites

If you don't want to see Frequently Visited sites at the bottom of the Favorites page, you can hide them.

Go to Bookmarks > Show Frequently Visited in Favorites . When the option does not have a check mark in front of it, you won't see the Frequently Visited sites on the Favorites page.

How to Open Your Favorites in Tabs When You Open Safari

If you visit the same pages every time you open Safari, you can add these pages to your Favorites and have them open in separate tabs when you open a new window.

To do this, set up your Favorites using the methods described earlier. Then go to Safari > Preferences .

On the General screen, select Tabs for Favorites in the New windows open with dropdown list.

Keep Track of Your Favorite Pages in Safari

Safari already offers great tools in the bookmarks and Favorites features. And they'll help you keep your favorite and important pages organized.

But if you want other options for managing your bookmarks, you can look through some great Safari extensions for bookmark management .

How to add and manage bookmarks on safari for iphone.

iCloud will sync all the bookmarks you create in Safari on your Mac to your iPad or iPhone, and vice-versa.

iCloud will sync all the bookmarks you create in Safari on your Mac to your iPad or iPhone, and vice-versa. But bookmarks aren't quite as simple and obvious on the iPhone as they are on the Mac. Here's how to create and manage them on iOS.

Adding bookmarks on your iPhone is easy, but it's not immediately obvious. The first thing you're likely to do is fumble around in your existing bookmarks before you realize that isn't working. What you have to do if you want to add a bookmark is to tap the Share icon as shown below in red.

Once the Share menu opens, you'll be able to then add the current website to your bookmarks or Favorites. You also have the option to add a site to your reading list, in case you want to read it later, offline, or you can pin it to your Home Screen.

Once you know how to add bookmarks, you can rename them, add them to folders, or delete them.

To manage your Safari bookmarks on your iPhone or iPad, first tap the Bookmarks icon along the bottom row.

Now, in the bookmarks screen, tap the "Edit" button in the bottom-right corner.

Now the edit mode will appear. Next to each bookmark or folder there is a "-" symbol, which means you can tap it and delete stuff.

Tap the "New Folder" link, and you can create a new folder to stash new or current bookmarks. Give your new folder a catchy title and indicate where you want it to reside under the "Location" option.

When you tap "Location", your bookmarks structure will expand and you can tap where you want the new folder to go.

To edit any bookmark, you simply need to tap on one while in edit mode. The "Edit Bookmark" screen will open where you can then give any bookmark a new name, fix URL issues, and like new folders, place it in an appropriate location.

Finally, you may have noticed that while in edit mode, there are three gray bars that appear along the right edge of each bookmark or bookmark folder. These allow you to move stuff around, so if you want to reorder everything, just place your finger on these bars and drag it into the location you choose.

As you can see, adding, deleting, and editing bookmarks and bookmarks folders on Safari for iOS is pretty easy and once you know how to do it, we're sure you'll have your bookmarks named and arranged in exactly the order you see fit.

How to Create, View, Edit, and Restore Bookmarks in Safari on Mac

If Safari is enabled in iCloud Preferences on your Mac, Safari will use iCloud to synchronize your bookmarks across multiple devices.

Thanks for this info. So How do you MAKE a custom icon for your bookmark favorites toolbar in Safari?

Yes, I know about “favicons” and copy/past emojis from iChat or such into the toolbar from “Edit Bookmarks.” I have a bunch up there already. But if you have, for example, an organization with a logo, that makes more sense to show than having or abbreviating “Acme Plastics Composite and Recomposting Development Technologies Of the Puget Sound” or even “APCRCFTPS”… How about just the logo? That saves an enormous amount of real estate. How do you do that? No article even mentions anything about “customization” except how to move stuff around your toolbar. Thanks!

Iphone xs (from $999 at apple), how to save a bookmark on your iphone's safari browser.

1. Start the Safari app and open a web page that you want to bookmark. 

2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow).

3. Tap "Add Bookmark."

4. On the Add Bookmark page, you can edit the name of the bookmark and even tweak the URL if necessary — just tap either of those fields and type as needed. 

5. If you want to store the bookmark in the default Favorites folder, tap "Save." If you want to choose a different folder, tap "Favorites" and then choose a folder (or create a new one) and then tap "Save."

If you save your bookmark to the default folder, it will appear in the list of favorites when you open a blank new tab in Safari, giving you fast access to commonly used web sites.

The difference between favorites and bookmarks in Safari

You might notice that when you tap the Share button, there are options to add both a bookmark and a favorite. Since the Favorites folder happens to be the default location to save bookmarks, this can be somewhat confusing. 

In reality, favorites are just a special kind of bookmark. If you save a bookmark to the Favorites folder (either using the Add Bookmark button or the "Add to Favorites" button in the Share menu), it's effectively the exact same thing as a favorite.  If you store a bookmark in a different folder, you'll need to navigate past the default Favorites folder to find them. 

Bottom line: Using the "Add to Favorites" button does the same thing as using the default folder for "Add bookmark."

Though there are no options to create a folder while adding a favorite, the share section has two options – “Add to Bookmark” and “Add to Favorites”. If you want to create a folder, then you need to follow the bookmark route instead of choosing favorites option. Follow the below instructions in Safari iPhone or iPad to create a folder under favorites section.

• Open Safari and tap the “Bookmarks” icon showing on the bottom of the screen and go to “Favorites” section.

• Tap “Edit” link showing on the bottom left corner and then tap “New Folder” option.

• Tap “Done” on the multiple screens to close all and you will see the newly create folder showing under “Favorites” section.

Create Folder While Booking Webpages to Favorites

The above option first creates a folder which you can select while adding a bookmark . Instead of that, you can directly create a folder when adding a bookmark.

• Open the page in Safari and tap on the “Share” icon from the bottom of the screen. Instead of selecting “Add to Favorites”, select “Add to Bookmarks” option. Alternatively, you can tap and hold the “Bookmarks” icon at the bottom of the page and then select “Add to Bookmarks” option.
• Tap the “Favorites” showing under “Location” heading and select “New Folder” option (here you can choose the folder if you have previously created as explained in the above method).

• Type the name for your folder and tap “Save” link showing on top right corner.

• If required, change the webpage name and tap “Save” to add the page to newly created folder under favorites section.

Managing Favorites in Folders

Safari offers lot of useful ways to make use of the bookmarked items in the folder. You can search, sort and reorder the positions of the folders to improve your routine work. Tap on the “Bookmarks” icon showing on bottom of the Safari Start Page. This will open “Bookmarks” section and tap on “Favorites” option where you can find all created folders.

When you tap on the “Edit” link showing on bottom right corner, it will show additional options for deleting and moving the folders or pages.

Using Favorites in Safari Start Page

Unlike Google Chrome which uses only bookmarks, Safari uses both bookmarks and favorites. It may be confusing as the option for creating a folder is available when adding to bookmark and NOT when adding to favorites. You can consider favorites as one of the folders under bookmarks and you can create a new folder either under favorites or directly under bookmarks section. Though you can select any folder while saving a page, only favorites folders will be shown in the new tab page (called Start Page). The folders created directly under bookmarks section will not be shown in the Start Page. You can tap and hold the favorites folder in Start Page to view the menu from which you can open all the pages or delete the content of entire folder quickly.

If you are not seeing the “Favorites” section in Start Page, scroll down to the bottom of a new tab page and tap “Edit” button. On the pop-up, turn on the switch against “Favorites” options to show the section in your Start Page .

In addition, you can sync the favorites folders using iCloud sync and use on all your devices. For this go to “Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Show All” and enable “Safari” option.

Let's dive into the step-by-step guide to creating folders on Safari, empowering you to take control of your bookmarks and optimize your browsing experience.

Step 1: Open Safari

To begin the process of creating folders within Safari, the first step is to open the Safari browser on your Apple device. Safari is the default web browser for all Apple products, including iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. You can easily access Safari by locating its icon on your device's home screen or in the applications folder.

Once you've located the Safari icon, simply tap on it to launch the browser. As the browser opens, you'll be greeted by the familiar Safari interface, featuring the address bar at the top, the navigation buttons at the bottom, and the bookmarks icon, which allows you to access your saved bookmarks and create folders to organize them efficiently.

Opening Safari is the initial and essential step that sets the stage for the subsequent actions required to create and manage your bookmarks effectively. Whether you're using Safari to explore the latest news, conduct research, or simply indulge in leisurely browsing, having quick access to your favorite websites through organized folders can greatly enhance your browsing experience.

By opening Safari, you gain access to a world of information and entertainment, and by creating folders within the browser, you can tailor your browsing experience to suit your specific interests and needs. With Safari's user-friendly interface and powerful features, you're well on your way to optimizing your bookmark management and making the most of your online exploration.

Now that Safari is open, you're ready to proceed to the next step in the process of creating folders within the browser. With each step, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how to effectively organize and manage your bookmarks, ensuring that your favorite websites are easily accessible whenever you need them.

Step 2: Tap on the Bookmarks icon

Upon opening Safari, the next crucial step in creating folders within the browser involves tapping on the Bookmarks icon. This icon serves as the gateway to accessing your saved bookmarks and organizing them into folders, allowing for efficient management and easy access to your favorite websites.

Located at the top of the Safari interface, the Bookmarks icon is represented by an open book symbol, which is universally recognized as a symbol for accessing saved web pages. By tapping on this icon, you initiate the process of managing your bookmarks, enabling you to create folders and categorize your saved websites based on your preferences and interests.

When you tap on the Bookmarks icon, a dropdown menu will appear, presenting you with a range of options to interact with your bookmarks. This menu typically includes the "Favorites" section, which contains frequently accessed websites, as well as the "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" sections, where all your saved bookmarks are listed.

By tapping on the Bookmarks icon, you gain instant access to your collection of saved websites, allowing you to view, organize, and customize them to suit your browsing habits. Whether you're looking to revisit a favorite recipe website, catch up on the latest news from your preferred sources, or access professional resources, the Bookmarks icon is your gateway to streamlined and organized browsing.

As you tap on the Bookmarks icon, you're presented with a visual representation of your browsing history and saved websites, providing a convenient overview of your online interests and activities. This visual interface makes it easy to identify the websites you wish to organize into folders, streamlining the process of creating a personalized and efficient bookmark management system.

With the Bookmarks icon serving as your entry point to managing your saved websites, you're empowered to take control of your browsing experience. By tapping on this icon, you're one step closer to creating folders within Safari, allowing you to categorize and access your favorite websites with ease.

Now that you've tapped on the Bookmarks icon, you're ready to proceed to the next step in the process of creating folders within Safari, bringing you closer to optimizing your bookmark management and enhancing your browsing experience.

Step 3: Select "Edit"

After tapping on the Bookmarks icon and gaining access to your saved websites, the next pivotal step in creating folders within Safari involves selecting the "Edit" option. This step is instrumental in initiating the process of organizing and customizing your bookmarks, allowing you to tailor your browsing experience to suit your individual preferences and interests.

Upon tapping the Bookmarks icon, you will notice the presence of the "Edit" option, typically located at the bottom of the dropdown menu that appears. By selecting "Edit," you enter a mode that enables you to interact with your bookmarks in a dynamic and personalized manner. This mode empowers you to make changes to your saved websites, including creating folders, rearranging bookmarks, and deleting or modifying existing entries.

When you select "Edit," Safari transitions into a customizable state, presenting you with various options to manage your bookmarks effectively. This includes the ability to create new folders, rename existing bookmarks, and reorganize your saved websites to align with your browsing habits and interests. The "Edit" mode serves as a gateway to personalizing your bookmark collection, ensuring that your favorite websites are easily accessible and neatly organized within the browser.

By selecting "Edit," you take control of your bookmark management, allowing you to curate a browsing experience that reflects your unique preferences and needs. Whether you're creating folders for different categories of websites, such as news, entertainment, or professional resources, or simply reordering your bookmarks for quick access, the "Edit" mode equips you with the tools to tailor your browsing experience to perfection.

As you navigate through the "Edit" mode, you'll find that Safari offers a seamless and intuitive interface for managing your bookmarks. This user-friendly approach ensures that you can effortlessly create folders, rename bookmarks, and arrange your saved websites with ease. The ability to select "Edit" represents a pivotal moment in the process of organizing your bookmarks, marking the transition from passive bookmark viewing to active and personalized bookmark management.

With "Edit" selected, you're poised to embark on the next steps of creating folders within Safari, further enhancing your ability to categorize and access your favorite websites. This mode empowers you to take charge of your browsing experience, ensuring that your bookmarks are tailored to your specific interests and readily available whenever you need them.

Now that you've selected "Edit," you're ready to proceed to the subsequent steps in the process of creating folders within Safari, bringing you closer to optimizing your bookmark management and enhancing your browsing experience.

Step 4: Tap "New Folder"

Upon entering the "Edit" mode in Safari, the next crucial step in the process of creating folders within the browser involves tapping on the "New Folder" option. This action serves as the catalyst for establishing a new organizational category within your bookmarks, allowing you to efficiently group and manage your favorite websites based on specific themes, interests, or purposes.

When you tap on "New Folder," Safari prompts you to provide a name for the newly created folder. This step is pivotal, as it enables you to define the purpose or theme of the folder, ensuring that it aligns with the websites you intend to include within it. Whether you're creating a folder for recipes, news sources, educational resources, or professional references, the ability to customize the folder name empowers you to curate a browsing experience that resonates with your individual interests and needs.

By tapping on "New Folder" and naming the folder, you establish a dedicated space within your bookmarks for a specific category of websites. This organizational approach not only streamlines your browsing experience but also enhances the accessibility of your favorite websites, allowing you to locate them swiftly whenever the need arises.

The process of tapping on "New Folder" signifies a proactive step in customizing your bookmark collection, reflecting your unique browsing habits and preferences. This action embodies the essence of personalized bookmark management, enabling you to tailor your browsing experience to suit your individual interests and needs.

As you tap on "New Folder" and define its name, you're actively shaping your browsing environment, ensuring that your favorite websites are neatly organized and readily accessible within Safari. This proactive approach to bookmark management sets the stage for a seamless and efficient browsing experience, where your curated folders serve as gateways to a wealth of information and entertainment tailored to your preferences.

With the "New Folder" option tapped and the folder named, you're well on your way to creating a personalized and organized bookmark collection within Safari. This step marks a pivotal moment in the process of optimizing your browsing experience, empowering you to categorize and access your favorite websites with ease.

Now that you've tapped on "New Folder" and named the folder, you're ready to proceed to the subsequent steps in the process of creating folders within Safari, further enhancing your ability to manage and access your favorite websites efficiently.

Step 5: Name the folder

After tapping on the "New Folder" option in Safari, you are prompted to provide a name for the newly created folder. This step is pivotal as it allows you to define the purpose or theme of the folder, ensuring that it aligns with the websites you intend to include within it. Naming the folder is a crucial aspect of the organizational process, as it sets the tone for the content it will encompass and facilitates easy identification and access.

When naming the folder, it's essential to consider the types of websites you plan to include. For instance, if you're creating a folder for recipe websites, a descriptive and recognizable name such as "Favorite Recipes" or "Culinary Delights" can effectively convey the folder's content. Similarly, if the folder is intended for professional resources, a name like "Industry Insights" or "Career Development" can provide clarity and context.

The naming process empowers you to customize the folder according to your specific interests and needs, ensuring that it serves as a tailored repository for your favorite websites. By choosing a name that resonates with the folder's content, you create a seamless browsing experience, where the folder's purpose is immediately apparent, allowing for quick and intuitive access to its contents.

Furthermore, the act of naming the folder adds a personal touch to your bookmark management, reflecting your individual preferences and browsing habits. Whether you opt for playful and creative names for leisure-oriented folders or professional and focused titles for work-related categories, the naming process allows you to infuse your bookmark collection with personality and purpose.

As you name the folder, consider the potential growth and evolution of its content. Selecting a name that accommodates future additions and adjustments can contribute to the folder's longevity and relevance. This forward-thinking approach ensures that the folder remains an effective and adaptable tool for organizing and accessing your favorite websites over time.

In essence, naming the folder is a pivotal step in the process of creating a personalized and organized bookmark collection within Safari. It represents a moment of customization and intentionality, where your browsing experience is tailored to your unique interests and needs. With the folder named, you're well-equipped to proceed to the final step of saving the folder, bringing you closer to optimizing your bookmark management and enhancing your browsing experience.

Step 6: Save the folder

After naming the newly created folder, the final step in the process of creating folders within Safari involves saving the folder. This action solidifies the organizational structure of your bookmarks, ensuring that the newly created folder is integrated seamlessly into your bookmark collection, ready for immediate use and future access.

Upon providing a name for the folder, Safari typically offers a prominent "Save" or "Done" option, signaling the completion of the folder creation process. By tapping on this option, you confirm the creation of the folder, effectively incorporating it into your bookmarks and making it readily accessible within the browser.

Saving the folder represents the culmination of your efforts to organize and customize your bookmark collection, reflecting your unique browsing habits and interests. This final step signifies the transformation of a conceptual organizational idea into a tangible and functional component of your browsing experience.

As you save the folder, you establish a dedicated space within your bookmarks for a specific category of websites, ensuring that your favorite online resources are neatly organized and easily accessible. Whether the folder is intended for leisurely pursuits, professional references, educational materials, or any other category, the act of saving the folder ensures that it becomes an integral part of your browsing environment.

Furthermore, the saved folder serves as a gateway to a curated selection of websites tailored to your interests, providing a streamlined and efficient means of accessing your favorite online content. With the folder saved, you can confidently navigate through your bookmarks, knowing that your favorite websites are neatly categorized and readily available whenever you need them.

In essence, saving the folder marks the successful completion of the organizational process, empowering you to take control of your browsing experience and make the most of your favorite websites. By creating and saving folders within Safari, you optimize your bookmark management, ensuring that your online resources are easily accessible and tailored to your individual preferences.

With the folder saved, you've successfully completed the process of creating folders within Safari, enhancing your ability to manage and access your favorite websites efficiently.

How to create Safari Bookmark folders on my iPad mini and then organize my saved bookmarks into these newly created folders?

How do I create a Safari Bookmark folder on my iPad mini (5th generation running iOS 14.5.1) and then organize my bookmarks into newly created folders?

Following the directions to create new Bookmark folders (Tap the Bookmark icon, then tap the Bookmarks tab – there no longer is a Bookmarks tab, and then tap Edit to create a new folder).

I have no problem tapping the Bookmarks icon (open book to the left of the address bar). This brings up the page that has Edit in the top left corner, Bookmarks appear in the middle, and Done is on the far right corner.  Under this Title Bar on this page is a Search field. All previously saved Favorites and Bookmarks appear below the Edit, Bookmarks and Done title bar and then the Search field on this page.

There is NO Bookmark tab to tap!

Skipping ahead to tap Edit, there is NO “Add new folder” or “+” that appears anywhere on the page to add/create a new folder!

By selecting Edit in the top left, the only choices that appear are the red delete icon to the left of each previously saved Favorites and Bookmarks.

To the far right of each Favorite and Bookmark is the icon that when touched and held allows the user to move a Favorite or Bookmark up or down in the list of Favorites and Bookmarks.

it is very frustrating to follow directions only to find that what I need is not there.

After the recent iOS updates for my iPad and iPhone, I cannot create a Safari Bookmark folder in my iPhone to organize those bookmarks.

Can someone please help?

• How can I re-order bookmark folders in Safari 14 on iPad Air 4 I must be missing something very basic. On my aged iPad mini running IOS 9, I can easily move individual Safari bookmarks or bookmark folders up or down the list to change their order, but I cannot see how to do the same thing on my iPad Air 4. Having opened Safari and displayed the bookmarks and bookmark folders in the sidebar, if I tap "edit" at the bottom of the sidebar, a red delete button is displayed against each bookmark. If I tap the three parallel lines on the right of a bookmark entry, nothing happens. I've tried tapping and tapping and holding the folder icon, the bookmark name and the three parallel lines, but nothing enables me to drag the bookmark to a different position in the list. Instead, I'm shown the content of the bookmark folder. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any advice you can offer! 282 3
• iOS Safari: How do I put a bookmark or folder at the same level as Favorites? To get to the bookmark I need now, I need to do three steps: 1) tap the sidebar icon, 2) tap Bookmarks, 3) tap Favorites. In Favorites are all my bookmarks, which makes “Favorites” meaningless. When I tap Bookmarks, I want my bookmarks. Can anyone tell me how to get folders and bookmarks to the Bookmarks level? In fact, if I could get rid of the extraneous “Favorites” folder altogether, I’d love to. Even more ideally, I’d like to see all my bookmarks when I tap the sidebar, even if the other things like History, etc., appear above them. I’ve just upgraded to iOS 15, but this was a problem in 14 as well. 710 5
