   If you expand a composite bookmark before making your selections, be aware that each selected line in the Bookmarks Manager window counts as a selected item (up and down movement is restricted within the composite bookmark itself). The program opens each selected item in its own session window. For example, if you expand a composite bookmark containing two cellviews and select all three lines in the Bookmarks Manager window like this:
   
   when you choose File – Open, three session windows appear:
   • One containing the composite bookmark: overview follower schematic on one tab and overview diffAmp schematic on another tab

   • One containing the overview diffAmp schematic

Searching for Bookmarks

To search for a bookmark:

• In the Search field, type the search string.
  The program looks for matching strings in the Name, Location, and Description columns.
  As you type, the Bookmarks Manager filters all bookmarks such that only those whose names, locations, or descriptions contain the search string appear in the window. If the program finds a matching string in a bookmark that is part of a composite bookmark, the program displays the expanded tree for that composite bookmark so that you can see the matching string.
  You can restore the complete list by deleting the search string.
