BookFolio support
Find your way faster.
Quick guidance for installing BookFolio, navigating bookmarks, creating groups, and getting help.
Install and get started
- Open BookFolio in the Chrome Web Store.
- Select Add to Chrome and review Chrome’s installation prompt.
- Open a new tab. Your existing Chrome bookmark hierarchy will appear in BookFolio—no import is required.
- Use the sidebar to open folders, or select the search field to find a bookmark by title or URL.
Open the side panel
Select the BookFolio toolbar icon and open the side panel. You can also use Ctrl+Shift+F on Windows or Cmd+Shift+F on macOS to jump to search.
Create a group
Open the Groups area in BookFolio, create a named group, and add related bookmarks. Groups can combine links from different folders.
Open several links
Use Open all on a folder or group to open its bookmarks together. BookFolio asks for confirmation before opening a large set of tabs.
Restore Chrome’s default new tab
To temporarily restore the default new-tab page, open chrome://extensions, find BookFolio, and switch the extension off. Switch it on again whenever you want the BookFolio dashboard back.
To remove the extension, select Remove on the same Chrome extensions page. BookFolio works with Chrome’s native bookmarks; disabling or removing the extension does not itself delete the bookmarks stored in your Chrome profile.
Troubleshooting
The dashboard does not appear
Confirm that BookFolio is enabled at chrome://extensions. If another extension also replaces the new-tab page, Chrome may allow only one of them to control that page at a time.
Address-bar search does not start after typing bf
Type bf, then press Space or Tab before entering your query. If it still does not activate, confirm that BookFolio is enabled and reload Chrome.
The side panel is not available
Make sure Chrome is up to date and BookFolio is enabled. Pinning BookFolio to the toolbar makes its side-panel entry easier to reach.
A bookmark change is not visible
Reload the BookFolio tab. Because the extension uses Chrome’s native bookmark structure, changes made in Chrome’s bookmark manager should appear in BookFolio as well.
