Bookmark List

The Bookmark List element displays items that users have bookmarked. Bookmarks are stored in the browser's localStorage and persist across sessions. Users can view, navigate to, or remove their bookmarked items.


Overview

Bookmark List renders a list of previously saved items. Each item shows mapped fields (title, description, image) and supports click-to-navigate and remove actions.

Common uses:

  • Saved articles or favorites lists
  • Watchlists for content items
  • Shortcut lists for frequently accessed pages
  • Reading lists or wishlists

Adding a Bookmark List

  1. Open the Website Builder
  2. Find Bookmark List in the Elements panel (under Display)
  3. Drag it onto your page
  4. Configure field mapping in the General Tab

Note: This element works on both web and mobile applications.

Best Practices

  1. Pair with a bookmarkable element - Use alongside Card Grid or Card List that has a bookmark action configured

  2. Provide a clear empty state - Customize the empty message to guide users on how to bookmark items

  3. Enable remove - Let users manage their bookmark list by removing items they no longer need

  4. Use navigation - Make bookmarks actionable by navigating to a detail page on click
