Favorites

Favorites is a Magnolia app that allows you to bookmark locations in the system. Use favorites for often-used apps and actions so you can navigate to them faster. Favorites are user specific.

The advantage of storing favorites inside Magnolia is that they are automatically ported to all instances (dev, test, production). If you work on multiple computers and browsers, favorites are still available. Favorites enable system administrators to provision functionality to a large user base: an admin can create a set of pre-defined favorites that all users get out of the box.
