  2. Add details about the web page in the Add Bookmark page. However, most websites supply details such as title and description, you can edit these if they are available.
  3. To specify the community to which you want to add the bookmark, from the Add to Communities tab, select a community from the list displayed in the Community field.
  4. Select Add to important bookmarks to add the link to the list of important bookmarks on the community's Overview page.
