# Organize bookmarks

In Safari, you use your bookmark list to organize bookmarks.

Note:Your bookmark list contains one or more of the following special collections that you can’t reorganize or change: History, Address Book, Bonjour, and All RSS Feeds. To view your bookmark list, click the open-book icon.

View the bookmarks list

1. Open Safari if it is not already open, and then click the open-book icon.

2. To see the contents of a collection, click the collection’s name.

   The bookmark list’s sidebar shows collections, such as History, Bookmarks Bar, and Bookmarks Menu, that are already set up. If you added your own collections, they also appear in the sidebar.

If you can’t see the list of bookmarks because Cover Flow view is covering it, drag up on the handle below the Cover Flow scroll bar.
