Getting Started

Simply go to Settings > Import/Export and select your browser or upload your bookmark file. We'll preserve your folder structure and help you organize imported bookmarks with our tagging system.
Collections & Organization
Private collections are only visible to you and remain completely confidential. Public collections can be discovered and followed by other RibbonLinks users. You can make any collection public to share your curated links with the community, and you maintain full control over who can contribute to your collections.
RibbonLinks offers multiple organization methods: Collections for broad topics, Tags for detailed categorization, and Smart Filters for automatic sorting. You can also add custom descriptions, set priorities, and use our search function to find links quickly. Consider creating collections like "Work Resources," "Learning Materials," or "Weekend Reading."
Yes! You can invite specific users to collaborate on your collections or make them open for community contributions. Collaborators can add links, edit descriptions, and help curate content. You always maintain ownership and can set permissions for different levels of access (view-only, contributor, or moderator).
