Allowing your learners a quick way to access a page in a course, instead of having to browse or search for it, could improve your user's experience tremendously.
Use Case Information
Allow the learner to set a bookmark on any content page so that the user can easily come back to it later. Bookmarks are accessible from the learner's dashboard after they are saved.
Bookmarking is behind a feature flag.

How Learners Bookmark a Page
Once the Bookmarking feature is turned on, it is recommended to log in as a learner in order to see this behavior effectively. However, if that is not an option, you can always preview a course as an Admin by going to Courses > All Courses > Click on a Content Title > Click on the preview icon in the upper right corner of the course's title banner.
- From the learner dashboard, jump into a course, article, or video.
- If you're in a course, navigate to the page you'd like to bookmark.
- Click the bookmark icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
Close Up of Icon: - From the popup modal, click Save to save the page with the defaulted information and to the default bookmark folder, or:
- Customize the Note field by deleting the pre-populated Section, Lesson, and Page and enter a custom note.
- Create a new folder by clicking Create New Folder from the folder dropdown menu and enter a custom folder name in the text field box.
- ClickSave.

Tip
After a page, article, or video is bookmarked, the learner can access the bookmarks from the activity widget on the learner dashboard.
Notes, Tips, & Considerations
- The default “My Bookmarks” folder is editable, but not removable.
- Deleting a folder will delete all bookmarks within the folder. A warning message will appear to prevent mistakes.
- If the learner chooses to create a new folder without first saving a bookmark in the defaulted “My Bookmarks” folder, the “My Bookmarks” folder is subsequently removed from the folder dropdown menu options.
- Articles and Videos will not have a pre-populated “Note” field. It will be blank by default.
- The Bookmarks tab is only present on the activity widget if the learner has saved bookmarks.
- The bookmarking feature is only available to logged in learners.
- Bookmarks are functional for both general learners and Panorama learners.
- If a course is archived, the learner will see a grayed out bookmark icon on the bookmarked page and the link to view the page from the dashboard will be removed.
