Some hilights are too good to scroll past and forget. Whether you're an admin pulling together content for your next school newsletter or a staff member who wants to save a meaningful moment, bookmark folders let you save and organize hilights so the right moments are always at your fingertips.
What is bookmarking?
Every hilight in your Bulletin feeds now has a bookmark icon in the top-right corner. One click saves a hilight to your personal collection, and it stays there until you decide to remove it. Your bookmarks are private, visible only to you.
You can also organize bookmarks into named folders, like "June Newsletter Picks" or "SY 25/26 Favorites," so finding the right hilight later is always quick.
How to bookmark a hilight
- Find any hilight in your Bulletin feeds (District Feed, School Feed, or My Feed).
- Click the bookmark icon in the top-right corner of the hilight card.
- If you haven't created any folders yet, the hilight is instantly saved to All Bookmarked Hilights. A small confirmation will appear at the bottom of your screen.
- If you already have folders, a small menu will pop up letting you choose which folder(s) to save it to or you can save to all folders at once.
That's it! The bookmark icon will turn purple to show the hilight has been saved.
Where to find your bookmarked hilights
All your saved hilights live in one place: the new Bookmarked tab on the Bulletin page.
- Go to Bulletin in the left navigation.
- Click the Bookmarked 🔖 tab in the tab row (it appears after My Feed).
- You'll see all your bookmarked hilights, sorted newest-bookmarked first.
Organizing bookmarks into folders
Folders let you group hilights by purpose - a newsletter, a school year, a staff spotlight, or anything else.
To create a folder:
- When bookmarking a hilight, click + New folder at the bottom of the folder menu and type a name.
- Or, go to your Bookmarked tab and click + New folder at the bottom of the folder sidebar.
To add a hilight to a folder:
- Click the bookmark icon on any already-saved hilight. The folder menu will open with your folders listed - check any folder you'd like to add it to. Bookmarks save immediately.
To rename or delete a folder:
- In the Bookmarked tab sidebar, hover over any folder and click the menu that appears.
- Choose Rename to edit the folder name inline, or Delete to remove it.
Don't worry, deleting a folder doesn't delete your bookmarks. All hilights from that folder stay safe in All Bookmarked Hilights.
A few things to know about folders:
- Folder names can be up to 60 characters and must be unique per account.
- You can have up to 50 folders.
- A hilight can belong to multiple folders at the same time.

Exporting bookmarked hilights to CSV
Need to pull your bookmarks into a spreadsheet for a newsletter or report? You can export any folder to CSV right from the Bookmarked tab.
- In the Bookmarked tab, select the folder you want to export from the sidebar (or stay on All Bookmarked Hilights to export everything).
- Click the Export CSV button in the top-right of the content area.
- If your folder has fewer than 5,000 hilights, the file will download immediately. For larger exports, you'll receive an email with a download link shortly after.
Removing a bookmark
Changed your mind? You can remove a bookmark at any time.
- To remove from a specific folder only: Click the bookmark icon on the hilight card, then uncheck the folder in the menu. The hilight stays bookmarked in your other folders and in All Bookmarked Hilights.
- To remove the bookmark entirely: Uncheck all folders (including All Bookmarked Hilights) in the folder menu. The icon will return to its gray outline state and the hilight will no longer appear in your Bookmarked tab.
Frequently asked questions
Can other people see my bookmarks?
No. Your bookmarks and folders are completely private. Only you can see them.
Can I bookmark a hilight I sent, or only ones I received?
You can bookmark any hilight visible in your feeds, whether you sent it, received it, or are simply browsing the district or school feed.
What happens if a hilight is removed from the platform?
If a hilight is no longer available, it will appear as [This hilight is no longer available] in your Bookmarked tab rather than disappearing without notice.
Can I share a folder or collection with a colleague?
It’s not possible to share a folder within the platform. Instead, feel free to export a folder, and share the downloaded CSV file with colleagues.
