Saving and restoring workspace bookmarks requires Premium. Keep source files available and retain access permissions; a bookmark does not contain copies of all your media. Screenshots show the English interface on a Pixel 8 phone.

Tap the star-shaped Bookmark button and wait for confirmation. Later, open Bookmarks from the bottom toolbar and choose the saved entry to restore it.

Save the current workspace

Arrange your clips and use the star-shaped Bookmark button. Wait for the confirmation that the current layout and panes were bookmarked before leaving the workspace.

Close the visible videos if needed

To check restoration, use Close All and review the confirmation before proceeding. Closing videos clears them from the workspace; it does not delete their source files.

Check the restored arrangement

Wait for the media to load. Confirm the layout, video sources, and any saved review markers. This example restores the two visible golf views with checkpoint and sync markers.

Keep the original files accessible

Moving or deleting a source, or revoking its permission, can prevent restoration. Keep important review media in a stable location.

Use the right kind of saved result

A bookmark reopens an editable workspace. A comparison image is a PNG, while video export renders a playable file.

Frequently asked questions

Does Close All erase my videos?

No. It closes the currently displayed media in the player. The source files remain in their storage location.

Is a bookmark a backup of the source files?

No. Keep separate copies of valuable media. A workspace bookmark should not be treated as a replacement for a file backup.
