# Self Service: Bookmarks

> [!WARNING]
> On iOS and iPadOS, Bookmarks are only supported on Self Service versions 1.4.4 and later.

### Create a Bookmarks Library Item

Create a Bookmarks Library Item to hold bookmarks (links) for resources.

To add this Library Item to your Kandji Library, follow the steps outlined in the [Library Overview](/kb/library-overview) article.

1. At the top of the Library Item, in the **Add a title** field, add a title.
2. Select your desired [Blueprints](/v1/docs/getting-started-with-assignment-maps).

### Add bookmarks to the Bookmarks Library Item

You can add one or multiple bookmarks to the Bookmarks Library Item. Within a category, bookmarks are displayed in alphanumerical order. You can edit [Self Service settings](/v1/docs/self-service-settings) to change the order in which categories are displayed.

1. Click **Add Bookmark**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/Kandji-Support-KB-1019AM@2x.png)
2. In the **URL** field, enter the appropriate URL. Bookmarks support the following URL schemes:
  - **http://** or **https://**
    - Opens in the default browser, which is Safari unless the user has selected a different one.
  - **mailto://**
    - Opens in the default mail app, which is Mail unless the user has selected a different one.
    - On iOS and iPadOS, if the user hasn't yet configured a mail account, tapping a mailto:// bookmark results in an error.
  - **file://** (only supported on macOS)For more information about file paths in macOS, please refer to Apple's [documentation](https://support.apple.com/lv-lv/guide/terminal/apd3cf6fe02-3ec8-48f1-951f-866e52955fc8/mac).
    - Opens a file from a specified path.
    - Using three consecutive slashes, such as file:///path/to/file when defining file paths is recommended.
    - macOS asks the user to grant Self Service the ability to read the folder that contains the file. After a user grants read access to the folder once, macOS should not ask again. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/Kandji-Support-KB-1020AM@2x(1).png)
3. Optionally, in the **Icon** field, drag a custom icon or click **upload**.
4. In the **Title** field, enter a title.
5. Optionally, select a **Category** of Self Service for this bookmark to be displayed in (see [Self Service settings](/v1/docs/self-service-settings) to edit your more categories).
6. Optionally, select the checkbox for **Recommended**.
  - When you open Self Service on macOS, Self Service displays Recommended apps, items, and bookmarks by default.
  - When you open Self Service on iOS and iPadOS, Self Service displays Recommended apps and bookmarks at the top of Self Service by default.
  - In Self Service for macOS, recommended bookmarks are displayed with a star icon.
7. Click **Done** to save your work and return to the list of bookmarks. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/Kandji-Support-KB-1016AM@2x(1).png)
8. Repeat to add more bookmarks.

### Edit or Delete a Bookmark

1. At the right side of the bookmark entry, click the **ellipses**.
2. Click **Delete** or **Edit**.
3. Click **Close** to return to the list of bookmarks without saving your changes, or click **Done** to save your changes and return to the list of bookmarks.
4. Click **Save** to save the changes to the Bookmarks Library Item.

### Considerations for Multiple Bookmarks Library Items

- You can create as many Bookmarks Library Items as you wish. Self Service displays the aggregate of all applicable bookmarks for each section.
- If you create a bookmark in your Bookmarks Library Item, but it already exists in another Bookmarks Library Item that's assigned to one more assigned Blueprints, Kandji displays a dialog to ask if you want to "Save Duplicate Bookmarks?"
- You may want to display a bookmark for the same URL in multiple categories depending on your needs. Using a separate Bookmarks Library Item for each category is one way to achieve that goal.
