Adding bookmarks to your watchlist

The watchlist maintains a list of the most recent bookmarks that match criteria you specify. You can add bookmarks to your watchlist that are associated with a person, with a tag, or both.

About this task

Click the My Updates tab to view an up-to-date collection of these bookmarks.

Procedure

You can add bookmarks to your watchlist in three different ways:

To add a person to your watchlist, display the person's bookmarks and click Add to Watchlist in the bookmark status bar.

To add bookmarks associated with a tag to your watchlist, filter the bookmarks list according to a tag by viewing Public Bookmarks and clicking a tag. Click Add to Watchlist in the bookmark status bar.

To add bookmarks created by a specific person and marked with a particular tag, display the person's bookmarks and click a tag in the tag cloud or a tag displayed in the bookmarks list. Click Add to Watchlist in the bookmark status bar.

Note: The My Updates view shows bookmarks from a certain period of time, such as the last two weeks. The time period can be configured by the administrator. If your watchlist does not include any recent bookmarks for a person or tag you specified, it is possible that there are not any new bookmarks for that time period.
