Using SlugBase

Folders

Create folders, sort and scope the list, open bookmarks inside a folder, and share folders when your workspace allows it.

What this page is for

Folders (/folders) groups bookmarks. Each folder has a Folder Name and optional icon; bookmarks can belong to one or more folders from the bookmark editor. The page subtitle in the app is Group bookmarks and share them with your team.

Folder and sharing behavior described here is what the self-hosted core ships. The hosted product may hide or gate some sharing UI by plan; see Cloud guides for that product line.

Before you start

You manage which bookmarks sit in a folder from Bookmarks—edit a bookmark and use Folders there. Empty folders are allowed.

How to create or edit a folder

Open Folders

In the sidebar, choose Folders.

Create or edit

Select Create Folder for a new row, or use Edit Folder on an existing folder.

Save

Enter Folder Name and optional icon, then save. Sharing is not configured here—use the row action Share folder (see below).

Deleting uses Delete Folder; the confirmation includes the folder name in quotes (folders.deleteConfirmWithName with {{name}}).

Sort, scope, and pagination

Sort — defaults to Alphabetical; you can switch to Recently Added via the toolbar (non-default sorts may show as a filter chip such as Sort: …).
Scope — when scope tabs are shown: All, Mine, Shared with me, Shared by me (labels come from the bookmarks scope strings: Mine, Shared with me, Shared by me).
Per page and page — adjust list size and move between pages; the header can show counts like Showing x of y when filters or pagination apply.

Use Clear all on filter chips to reset scope and sort to defaults.

Working with bookmarks inside a folder

Select the folder Name in the table—it links to Bookmarks with that folder applied as the filter. You can also open Bookmarks and set Filter by Folder manually. The command palette jumps to Bookmarks with the same filter when you pick a folder from search results.

When sharing UI is enabled, the row action Share folder opens the share dialog to add people or teams (Invite people or share with a team.), including Share with Teams and related copy there—not in the create/edit folder modal (that modal is name and icon only).

Bookmarks

Assign folders when creating or editing bookmarks.

Import and export

Back up and restore bookmark data.

Dashboard

Open Folders from library stats on the home page.
