HTML bookmarks reading guides

HTML bookmark exports are useful for inspecting a collection and preparing a browser migration. They are not a substitute for downloaded articles. Keep that distinction clear when someone calls a file a backup, and define which titles, folders, addresses, or annotations you need to preserve.

Use an untouched original and a working copy. Check the source profile, sample several folders, and test a small import before a full transfer. Review private addresses before sharing the file, and approach unfamiliar HTML cautiously. The two guides below cover the browser-side export process and a closer inspection of the resulting file.
