What Is the Bookmarks Sidebar?

The Bookmarks sidebar is a collection of names available for instant recall. Much like the bookmarks in your browser, you decide who is added to the bookmarks and who gets removed. People can be added or removed anytime.

You might want to clear the bookmarks each time you begin working on a different branch of your family. In this way, the bookmarks will provide a handy summary of records on which you're focusing during a particular session with Reunion.

Some people like to "fill" the bookmarks with one person from each "line" of their ancestors. For example, bookmarking only their eight great grandparents and using them...like bookmarks!

To show the Bookmarks sidebar, click the Bookmarks button in the Sidebar list. To navigate to a person's record, simply click a name in the Bookmarks.

Adding People to Bookmarks

You can add people to the bookmarks by dragging and dropping a person's button into the Bookmarks sidebar or by dragging and dropping a person's button onto the Bookmarks button in the Sidebar list (in the navbar on the left).

To drag both the husband and wife on the current family to the Bookmarks, drag the marriage field to the Bookmarks list, or to the Bookmarks button in the Sidebar list.

Still another method for adding a person to the bookmarks is to click their Person menu button (the little in the upper-right corner of their button) and choose Add to Bookmarks. This menu also appears when Control-clicking a person's button.

Bookmarks Settings

Under the Bookmarks sidebar, in the bottom bar, you'll see a Settings button. Click this button to open the Bookmarks Settings window. In here, you can remove a selected person from the bookmarks or clear the list entirely.

If the List color mode is set to Color lists by sex, you'll notice color coding (by sex) applied to entries in the Bookmarks sidebar.

Removing Names from Bookmarks, Clearing Bookmarks

Here are three ways to remove names from the Bookmarks...

To remove all names from the bookmarks, click the Settings button in the bottom bar and choose Clear. Removing names from the bookmarks does not remove people from the family file.

Up to 500 people can be included in the Bookmarks.
