Bookmarklet

Table of Contents

The Bookmarklet lets you save the page currently open in your browser without first opening LinkAce. Add it to your browser bookmarks bar once, then click it whenever you want to save the current page.

If you are not logged in to LinkAce, the Bookmarklet opens the login page first. After login, it continues to the pre-filled link form.

Add the Bookmarklet to Your Browser

  1. Open your LinkAce user settings.
  2. Find the Bookmarklet section at the top.
  3. Make sure your browser bookmarks bar is visible.
  4. Drag the Bookmarklet button to the bookmarks bar.

If dragging does not work, check whether your browser or mobile browser supports bookmarklets. Some mobile browsers restrict JavaScript bookmarks.

Common Problems

  • The login page appears: log in to LinkAce, then try the Bookmarklet again.
  • Nothing opens: allow popups for your LinkAce domain and check whether the browser supports bookmarklets.
  • The form is missing title or description: the website may block metadata access. You can fill the fields manually.
