Bookmarks
Save and restore graph views in your browser
Bookmarks save a named view of one graph. Use them when you want to return to a useful filter and group configuration without rebuilding it.
What a bookmark saves
A bookmark contains:
- the bookmark name and optional description
- the active filter stack
- the expanded and collapsed group state
It does not save selected nodes or the camera position.
Create or update a bookmark
Press Ctrl+B (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+B (Mac), or use Bookmark View in the viewer toolbar.
The bookmark dialog can create a bookmark or replace an existing bookmark with the current filters and group state. A name is required. The dialog shows how many filters and group states the snapshot contains.
Apply a bookmark
The Bookmarks panel lists the bookmarks for the current graph. Each entry shows its filter count, group-state count, and description when present.
Applying a bookmark replaces the current filters and group state. Schematify asks for confirmation first when either is already active.
Manage bookmarks
From the Bookmarks panel, you can:
- rename a bookmark and edit its description
- update it with the current graph state
- apply it
- delete it after confirmation
Deleting a bookmark cannot be undone.
Browser-local storage
Schematify stores bookmarks in your browser’s local storage under the graph ID. As a result:
- each graph has its own bookmarks
- bookmarks persist across sessions in the same browser profile
- bookmarks do not sync to another browser, device, or team member
- clearing site data removes them
Schematify does not currently provide a bookmark export or sharing workflow.
Bookmarks and smart filters
A bookmark preserves both node filters and query-based smart filters. Smart filters run their query again when the graph document changes or a resolved channel value changes. Queries can target realtime data explicitly with channels.<key>; free text still excludes channel values.
If a saved historical query is no longer valid, Schematify keeps the filter visible with an error and selects no nodes rather than changing the query.
