Bookmarks
Save, organize, and jump between important locations in your pipeline with bookmarks.
Bookmarks let you mark important nodes and canvas positions so you can jump back to them instantly. In large pipelines with dozens of nodes, bookmarks keep you oriented and moving fast.
Types of bookmarks
There are three types of bookmarks.
| Type | What it saves | How to create |
|---|---|---|
| Node bookmark | A specific node — jumping to it selects and centers the node | Select a node, press B |
| Container bookmark | A container node — jumping to it selects and centers the container | Select a container, press B |
| Canvas bookmark | A viewport position and zoom level — jumping restores that exact view | Deselect everything, press B |
Create bookmarks
Press B to create a bookmark. What happens depends on your selection:
- Node selected — bookmarks that node. A bookmark icon appears in the node header.
- Multiple nodes selected — bookmarks all selected nodes that aren't already bookmarked.
- Nothing selected — bookmarks the current canvas view at its current position and zoom level.
Press Shift+B to toggle a bookmark on the first selected node.
You can also click the bookmark icon in a node's header or properties panel to toggle its bookmark.
Navigate with bookmarks
Jump menu
Press Cmd+J to open the Jump menu. This is a searchable list of all your bookmarks.
Open the Jump menu
Press Cmd+J. Your bookmarks appear in a list with their labels, icons, and colors.
Find and jump
Type to filter by name, or use Arrow keys to move through the list. Press Enter to jump to the selected bookmark.
Direct jump
Press 1 through 9 to jump directly to the bookmark in that position. The camera smoothly animates to the target.
Cycle through bookmarks
Press ] to jump to the next bookmark, or [ for the previous one. This cycles through all bookmarks in order.
Edit bookmarks
Open the Jump menu with Cmd+J, then select a bookmark to edit it.
- Press E to edit the selected bookmark inline. Change its label and press Enter to save, or Escape to cancel.
- Change the bookmark's color from the color picker.
- Press Delete or X to remove a bookmark. Your selection stays near the previous position in the list, so you can quickly clean up multiple bookmarks in a row.
You can also reorder bookmarks — the order determines which number key (1-9) jumps to each one.
Undo and redo
Bookmark actions support undo and redo. This includes creating, editing, deleting, reordering, and changing colors.
Navigation-only actions (jumping to a bookmark) do not create undo history.

Tips
- Number keys not working? Make sure your cursor is on the canvas and not in a text field. Use the Jump menu (Cmd+J) as a reliable alternative.
- No bookmarks showing up? Press B to create your first one — select a node first to bookmark it, or deselect everything to bookmark the current canvas view.
- Containers can be bookmarked too. Select a container and press B to bookmark it, just like any other node.
