    Hi Anonymous,

    Now it works on my side too, but I think that more explanation is needed how to configure these bookmarks. Note the following:

    • Make sure you do not have a bookmark selected when creating a new one. Otherwise it will overwrite this bookmark with the new selected visuals. You can only deselect the bookmark by making an image visible/hidden.
    • After creating the bookmark with selected visuals, you cannot see which visuals are related to this bookmark. They are no longer marked in gray.  
    • In case of multiple toggle buttons you have at least four times a visual called 'image'. By switching on the Title, give it a suitable name and switch off the title, you can distinguish them. 

    You can see the configuration of the bookmarks on our blog and YouTube:

Hi RicardoS,

 

I test with bookmark 'select visuals' feature and it works on my side.

Can you ensure you have configure the bookmark with on correspond visuals? If you can't ensure, I;d like to suggest you delete current bookmark, then choose visuals which you needed before you create bookmark.

    This won't work for visuals with names?! How disappointing

      RicardoS thank you for editing your response and clarifying! I was trying to get this to work yesterday and I name all my visuals. For the moment, I've given up and stuck with the All Visuals option.
