Magnolia 5.3 reached end of life on June 30, 2017. This branch is no longer supported, see End-of-life policy.
Favorites is a Magnolia app that allows you to bookmark locations in the system. Use favorites for often-used apps and actions so you can navigate to them faster. Favorites are user specific.
One of the advantages of keeping favorites in the system is that they are automatically portable. If you work on multiple computers and different browser, the bookmarks are still available. The Favorites functionality is also a relief for system administrators who need to provision functionality to a large user base. An admin can create a set of pre-defined bookmarks that all users get out of the box.
To add a favorite:
You can also start the above process at 3. and enter content manually.
Groups allow you to organize similar favorites together. For example, an editor who works in the news section of the site could set up a News group. Groups are displayed on the right.
To add a group:
You can also add a group as you add a favorite.
To edit groups or favorites:
You can drag and drop favorites from a group to the single list or reorder them.
