Bookmark Bars are special groups of bookmarks that show up across the top of the Shift. They help you organize links and can be global (available everywhere) or linked to a specific Workspace. Let’s learn more about Bookmark Bars! 🍫

Home Bar

Can’t see your bookmarks? Press Cmd + Shift + B (on Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + B (on Windows) to show them.

By default, all bookmarks appear in the Home Bar. This is the main Bookmark Bar for all Workspaces and is available everywhere in Shift. The Home Bar:

  • Cannot be deleted.
  • Its name cannot be changed.

Note: Shift supports up to 5000 bookmarks

How to create a new Bookmark Bar

  1. Click the drop-down arrow on the right-hand side of the Bookmark Bar.
  2. Select "Add Bookmark Bar."
  3. Choose a name and an icon, then click "Save."

Tip: If you don’t make the new bar global, you’ll only see it in the Workspace where you created it.

Note: A new Bookmark Bar is automatically created for every new Workspace you make.
