Adding Favorites

To designate a document page as a favorite (that is, to bookmark it), do one of the following:

• In the Contents listing, right-click an item and select Add to Favorites from the context menu.
• In the Help browser index or search results list, right-click an entry and select Add to Favorites from the context menu.
• While a page is open in the display pane, click the Add to Favorites button in the display pane toolbar.

The favorites file is matlab_help.hst. Type prefdir in the Command Window to see the location of the file. The matlab_help.hst file is loaded when MATLAB starts, and is overwritten with any changes you make during a session when you close MATLAB.

Going to Favorites

Click the Favorites tab in the Help Navigator to view a list of pages you previously designated as favorites (also known as bookmarks). It is the rightmost tab--to see it, you might need to use the separator bar to make the Navigator pane wider. From the list of favorites you can

• Select an entry--That page appears in the display pane.
• Remove an entry--Right-click the item in the favorites list and select Remove from the context menu, or press the Delete key.
• Rename an entry--Right-click the item in the favorites list and select Rename from the context menu. Type over the existing name to replace it with a new name.
