# 2.1 Creating a Bookmarkshelf

(Smarky, Synkmark, Markster and BookMacster are all based on the Bookmarkshelf document. However, only BookMacster supports more than one. Smarky, Synkmark and Markster create and maintain your single Bookmarkshelf document automatically. Therefore, the New Bookmarkshelf menu item is only available in BookMacster.)

- Click in the menu: File > New Bookmarkshelf.

- If asked, give your new document a name that you will recognize, or accept the default name.

- If presented with the list of candidate Client(s), switch on those whose internal bookmarks you want synced…

  - If you are setting up a document to manage bookmarks of a single web browser, switch on the Import checkbox for that web browsers, making it a client. This will also switch on the Export checkbox. Leave both on.

  - If you are setting up a document to sync web browsers, switch on the Import checkbox for those web browsers, making them clients. This will also switch on the Export checkbox for each. Leave both on.

  - If you are setting up to purely use BookMacster as a Central Bookmarks Store, you will not be doing regular imports or exports and may therefore leave all checkboxes switched off.

The separate Import and Export checkboxes are in case you want one-way syncing. To import means to pull changes (such as new bookmarks) from a document’s clients (usually, web browsers) into BookMacster for processing. To export means to push changes from BookMacster out to the clients. Usually, you want both, but if you don’t, switch off the appropriate checkboxes.

- Click button Done.

- When asked if you want to Import from Clients Now, you should click Do It if all clients have some bookmarks you want that are not in other clients, or if you only have one Client.
