Links

links, also known as Bookmarks, Webpages, or URLs are one of the core components of Linkwarden (hence the name).

Adding a Link

You can add a new Link by clicking the "+ New Link" button on the top-right of the screen.

A couple of things to consider:

• The "Address" field is mandatory.
• The "Collection" field is also mandatory, BUT will be set as "Unorganized" if nothing is provided. If left at this value, a new Collection (named "Unorganized") will be created if it doesn't already exist.
• The "Description" field will be autogenerated based on the webpage title if nothing is provided.
• The "Name" field overwrites the "Description" field while being displayed in the Link card.

Viewing a Link

Editing a Link

To edit a Link, click on the menu dropdown of the Link and click on "Edit" to open the edit modal.

Pin a Link to your Dashboard

To pin a Link to the dashboard, click on the menu dropdown of the Link and click on "Pin to Dashboard".

note

Currently, only Collection owners can pin Links to their dashboard.

Delete a Link

To delete a Link, click on the menu dropdown of the Link and click on "Delete".

Editing or Deleting Many Links at Once

Everything above works on one Link at a time. To move, retag, preserve again, or delete a batch of Links in one step, see Bulk Actions.

Preserved Copies

Every Link is saved along with copies of the page itself, so you keep the content even if the original disappears. See Preservation for the formats and how they're produced, and Read and Annotate for reading an article in Linkwarden and marking it up.
