# Adding a bookmark [edit]

This page describes how to add a bookmark to a file.

## Introduction

Add bookmarks to make it easier to jump to specific places in your code.

## Instructions

To add a bookmark to your code:

1. Click on the line of code where you want to add the bookmark.
2. From the Edit menu, select Add Bookmark... from the context menu to open an Add Bookmark pop-up window.
3. On the Add Bookmark pop-up window, type the name that you want to give to the bookmark.
4. Click OK.

Aptana creates the bookmark for you, which now appears in the Bookmarks View.

To quickly jump to the bookmark, double-click the bookmark in the Bookmark View.
