Areas

Areas are the top-level organizational unit in FAVORO. Think of them as workspaces or folders that contain all your bookmarks for a specific context.

What are Areas?

An area is a container for sections and links. You might create separate areas for:

  • Work - Professional tools, project management, documentation
  • Personal - Shopping, entertainment, social media
  • Project X - Resources specific to a particular project
  • Learning - Courses, tutorials, reference materials

Creating an Area

  1. Go to Settings → Areas from the user menu
  2. Click the New Area button
  3. Enter a name for your area
  4. Select a color to help identify it visually
  5. Click Create

Your new area will appear in the area switcher dropdown.

Managing Areas

Switching Between Areas

Click on an area name in the sidebar or use the area switcher in the header to navigate between your different workspaces.

Editing an Area

  1. Go to Settings → Areas
  2. Find the area you want to edit
  3. Click the edit icon
  4. Update the name or color
  5. Save your changes

Changing Area Color

Each area can have a unique color that appears as an accent bar at the top of the page. This helps you quickly identify which workspace you're in.

Available colors include a range of options from subtle grays to vibrant colors.

Deleting an Area

  1. Go to Settings → Areas
  2. Find the area you want to delete
  3. Click the delete icon
  4. Confirm the deletion

Warning: Deleting an area will also delete all sections and links within it. This action cannot be undone.

Area Organization Tips

Keep It Focused

Create areas around specific contexts or activities. This makes it easier to find what you need and keeps your workspace clean.

Use Meaningful Names

Choose names that clearly indicate what the area contains. "Work" is better than "Area 1".

Limit the Number

While you can create as many areas as you need, having too many can make navigation cumbersome. Consider consolidating related topics into a single area with multiple sections.

Best Practices

  1. Start simple - Begin with 2-3 areas and expand as needed
  2. Regular cleanup - Periodically review and remove unused areas
  3. Consistent naming - Use a naming convention that works for you
  4. Color coding - Assign colors that have meaning (e.g., blue for work, green for personal)
