 Navigating to Bookmarks Manager

1. Click the three dots button in the top right of the Chrome browser. (fig. Chrome 1).
2. Hover over “Bookmarks” and then click “Bookmarks Manager”. Or alternatively you can type/copy “chrome://bookmarks” into your URL and hit enter.
3. Click the three dots button just below the previous one you clicked on the bookmark manager page (fig. Chrome 1).

2. Navigate to where you want to save the bookmarks file and click ““Save”. 

Note: In the case of needing to backup favorite/bookmarks because of a Windows 10 upgrade you will need to export the bookmarks file to your Google Drive File Stream or an external drive/flash drive. 

Import

1. Click “Import Bookmarks”.
2. Navigate to where you saved your exported bookmarks file, select it, and click “Open”.
