If your link opens an error or unfamiliar page, go through the organization’s known homepage and find the current page there.
Verify it, then save that address with a clear name.
You can edit bookmark names through the browser’s bookmarks list.
If the bookmark seems missing, first check that you are using the same browser and profile, the browser’s separate space for your settings and links.
Before moving to the next step
Check this specific result: I know where to look for my bookmark and how to recover a moved page.
If that result is not true yet, leave the box unchecked. Write what is missing in your notes; use the official instructions below when the equipment or situation differs.

Notes about these pictures
A bookmark is a saved link you can use to reopen a page. The address bar is the field near the top of your browser that shows where you are. For practice, open a public page you already trust, such as your library’s hours. Read the page heading and check the website address against a source you know. If the page asks for a password unexpectedly, stop and use your usual route to the organization.
Practice on your own browser profile. Keep private account links, sign-in codes and passwords out of shared worksheets. If a saved link opens an unexpected sign-in page, use the organization’s known homepage.

Your model’s instructions and current official guidance take priority. For urgent problems, follow the stop instructions without waiting to watch a video.
Finish the job and know what to do next.
For this guide, the final result is: I know where to look for my bookmark and how to recover a moved page.
A concrete way to approach this task
In this fictional example, Nia opens the public library hours page. She saves it as Library hours, then finds the saved name in the bookmarks list and opens it from a new tab.
What if I cannot complete a step?
Menu names may vary with the browser and device. If the star opens an edit window, the page may already be saved. Check its name and folder before making another bookmark.
Identify the exact step: “Open the page you want to keep.” Record what you tried, what happened, and which item or model you used. Ask for help with that specific problem rather than repeating an unsafe or unsuccessful action.
Practice on your own browser profile. Keep private account links, sign-in codes and passwords out of shared worksheets. If a saved link opens an unexpected sign-in page, use the organization’s known homepage.
Connect this skill to everyday life
Choose one important account and verify its recovery options through the genuine service. Organize where your recovery information is stored securely.
A familiar logo or display name does not verify a sender. Account recovery codes and normal passwords have different purposes.
A useful record for this task: Record the result of “Check the link when it changes”: I know where to look for my bookmark and how to recover a moved page.
When finished, record the result and any next check or follow-up date. Your original step checks and notes remain on this browser.
