First if you visit your bookmark page you will notice it will be empty as we haven’t yet bookmarked any post.

Now let’s bookmark some posts…

Go to the Blog Posts page on the BuddyBoss App. And next to the blog post, you will see this new Bookmark icon. Click on the bookmark icon on the right to save this post. 

You will see that the icon changed to filled which means we have successfully saved this post. 

Now, let’s go to the Bookmark page we added to our Tab Bar menu. On this page, you can access and manage all the blog posts you saved earlier. 

Once you’re done reading a blog post or if you want to remove it from your saved items, you can just simply click the Bookmark icon again. The icon will turn back to unfilled.

And when we go back to our Bookmarks page. The post will no longer be listed there. 

And if you face any trouble to bookmark any of your blog posts then an error message will show at the top of your screen.
