The Social Bookmarking plugin allows you to share bookmarks with your team. You can create a bookmark and save it in a Confluence space. To send the bookmark to other Confluence users, simply label it for their personal spaces or for public spaces. You can also subscribe to a bookmarks RSS feed.

A bookmark is a page which points to a website or other URL. The website or URL can be within or external to Confluence. The bookmark can also contain comments from the person who created the bookmark, telling you why the website is interesting.

This page tells you how to view a list of bookmarks in a space. If you want to include a list of macros on your Confluence page, use the Bookmarks Macro.

When viewing bookmarks, you can:

  • View the bookmarks saved in a particular space. This might be:
    • Your personal space, where you store all the bookmarks of interest to you, as well as the bookmarks you have sent to other people.
    • A global space, where you or other people store bookmarks relevant to that space.
  • View the bookmarks labelled for a particular space. This might be:
    • Your personal space, where you can see the bookmarks other people have sent to you.
    • A global space, where you or other people have sent bookmarks relevant to that space.
  • Go to the bookmarked website or URL.

To view the bookmarks saved in a particular space,

  1. Go to 'Browse Space' and click the 'Bookmarks' tab.
  2. The 'Space Bookmarks' screen will appear. Click the 'Bookmarks in <space name>' tab.
  3. This will display all the bookmarks which have been saved in this space, ordered by date with the most recent shown first. Click 'View Bookmark Page' if you want to open the Confluence page for this bookmark.

To view the bookmarks labelled for a particular space,

  1. Go to 'Browse Space' and click the 'Bookmarks' tab.
  2. The 'Space Bookmarks' screen will appear. Click the 'Links for <space name>' tab.
  3. This will display all the bookmarks which have been labelled for this space, ordered by date with the most recent shown first. Click 'View Bookmark Page' if you want to open the Confluence page for this bookmark.

To go to the bookmarked website or URL,

  1. Click the bookmark title. This is the bold, underlined name shown above the bookmark description on the 'Space Bookmarks' screen.
  2. The website or other URL will open in your browser.

    How can I dynamically browse through the bookmarks? E.g. see all bookmarks labeled with "confluence". Yes, the bookmark macro can do, but not in an interactive way.

      Hi there,

      If you are keen to improve the bookmark browser UI to be more interactive, I would suggest to raise an improvement request in the plugin's Issue Tracker system at:
