Check Duplicate Bookmarks

Premium Feature: This functionality requires a Premium subscription.

VertiTab provides an automated bookmark checking feature that scans for duplicate bookmarks and verifies bookmark accessibility.

How to Use

Access Method:

  1. Navigate to the bookmark folder in the VertiTab sidebar
  2. Right-click on any bookmark folder
  3. Select "Check Bookmarks" from the context menu
  4. The program will automatically scan for duplicates and verify bookmark accessibility

What Gets Checked

Duplicate Detection

  • Identifies bookmarks with identical URLs
  • Finds bookmarks with the same title but different URLs
  • Detects similar bookmarks that may be duplicates

Accessibility Verification

  • Tests if bookmarked URLs are still accessible
  • Checks for broken links or moved pages
  • Verifies that bookmarks load correctly

Important Considerations

Network Requirements

  • Stable Internet Connection Required: Ensure you have a reliable internet connection during the checking process
  • Internal/Corporate Networks: If checking bookmarks for internal websites, make sure you're connected to the appropriate work network environment
  • VPN Considerations: Some bookmarks may require VPN access to verify properly

Potential Results

  • Inaccessible Results: Some bookmarks may show as inaccessible if:
    • You're not on the required network (internal company sites)
    • VPN connection is needed
    • The website requires specific authentication
    • Temporary server issues

Benefits

  • Bookmark Maintenance: Keep your bookmark collection clean and organized
  • Remove Dead Links: Identify and remove bookmarks that no longer work
  • Eliminate Duplicates: Find and merge duplicate bookmarks
  • Improve Organization: Maintain a high-quality bookmark collection

Best Practices

  • Run bookmark checks periodically to maintain bookmark quality
  • Ensure proper network access before running checks on internal bookmarks
  • Review results carefully, as some "inaccessible" bookmarks may just require special network access
  • Create backups before removing bookmarks based on check results
