Question

Saving Bookmarks in Quickbooks Left Side Menu

Hello,

On the left hand side of the Quickbooks app is a "BookMarks" section.  If you select the "+" to the right of the word "BookMarks" you can configure what shows up under Bookmarks.  As you can see in the attachment I provided the first photo is the default and the second is BookMarks with "Expenses" added.  However, every time I log off and back on it reverts back to the default and "Expenses" is gone.  Why is it not saving?

 

Thanks.

I understand how much you want to use the QuickBooks Online application for desktop, @MikeMerk.

 

The QuickBooks Online (QBO) desktop application has been discontinued two years ago. This is why the application seems faulty and not saving any saved bookmarked window. I know you want to use the bookmark menu to toggle to a specific menu or page easily, like expense. In your case, I recommend running QBO in supported browsers like Google Chrome.

 

From there, login to your QuickBooks account. You can click the browser's Star icon to bookmark specific windows or pages in QBO. Then enter the name and other details to save it.




Once you run a new window tab (press Ctrl + T), you will see this on the Bookmarks menu. Then you can also press Ctrl + Shift + O to see your current saved bookmarks.

 




For additional resource, this article shows more information and features while running QBO in a browser: Understand the navigation menu in QuickBooks Online.

 

Let me know in the comment on how it goes or if you have other concerns. I'll be back to help you more. Keep safe and have a great day.

Hello,

 

I have been a QuickBooks member for about 5 days.  When I signed up this is the site they presented to me.  what do you mean "The QuickBooks Online (QBO) desktop application has been discontinued two years ago. This is why the application seems faulty and not saving any saved bookmarked window."?  Why would quickBooks direct a new member to a discontinued application?  This process of coming over from GoDaddy has been quite frankly, a nightmare.
