Create a bookmark hierarchy

You can nest a list of bookmarks to show a relationship between topics. Nesting creates a parent/child relationship. You can expand and collapse this hierarchical list as desired.

Nest one or more bookmarks

  1. Select the bookmark or range of bookmarks you want to nest.
  2. Drag the icon or icons directly underneath the parent bookmark icon. The Line icon  shows the position of the icon or icons.

    The bookmark is nested; however, the actual page remains in its original location in the document.

  2. Move the selection by doing one of the following:
    • Drag the icon or icons, positioning the arrow directly under the label of the parent bookmark.

    • Choose Cut from the Options menu, select the parent bookmark, and then choose Paste Under Selected Bookmark from the Options menu.
