The title, description, and thumbnail are grabbed from the page automatically.
If the bookmark is an article or video, you can view it later in a [clean built-in preview](/articles) — no ads or clutter.

## Managing a bookmark

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Web & Desktop">
    Hover over a bookmark and click **Edit**, or right-click and select **Edit** from the context menu.

    <Frame style={{padding:0}}>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/raindropio-0c6b7ca1/g7d24I8ROfahz7TM/assets/bookmark-edit.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=g7d24I8ROfahz7TM&q=85&s=77926c38089445e00ba85db17372bd2c" width="1974" height="1000" data-path="assets/bookmark-edit.png" />

    </Frame>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

From here you can edit the title, description, or thumbnail, and also:

* Add a **note** — your own comments, context, or anything you want to remember about the page. Notes are written in Markdown (bold, italic, lists, links) and are included in [search](/using-search) and [export](/export)
* Move the bookmark to another [collection](/collections)
* Add [tags](/tags) for easier filtering
* Set a [reminder](/reminders) so you don't forget about it
* Mark as **favorite** to keep it at hand
* Or **delete** — the bookmark goes to <Icon icon="trash" size={16} /> [Trash](#where-deleted-bookmarks-go), not permanently removed

## Sorting bookmarks

By default bookmarks appear newest first. You can also manually reorder them — drag the ones that deserve more attention to the top.

## Where deleted bookmarks go

Deleted bookmarks are moved to <Icon icon="trash" size={16} /> **Trash** collection. It works like any other collection: you can browse it, drag bookmarks out to restore them, or drag bookmarks into it to delete them.

Nothing is removed permanently until you choose to. Bookmarks in Trash don't appear in search results or filters.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I save a bookmark into multiple collections?">
    A bookmark lives in one collection. To have it in two places, open the target collection, click **+**, paste the URL, and save — this creates a separate copy.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What information is extracted automatically?">
    Title, description, thumbnail, and content type (article, video, image, document, audio).

    Full text is also extracted from any web page, as well as PDF, EPUB, TXT, and Markdown files — making them all [searchable](/using-search).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if preview is missing or shows wrong content?">
    Right-click the bookmark → **Refresh preview**. Raindrop.io will re-extract content from the original page. If the problem persists, contact support at [info@raindrop.io](mailto:info@raindrop.io).
