Hi!


I was wondering if there's a way to:


1) View all bookmarked recipes within a book? Akin to picking up a print book and seeing all the post-its poking out for the recipes you've stickered, in one quick glance. From what I can tell, right now it's technically possible, but isn't really intuitive or user-friendly: under the recipes tab, if I've bookmarked a recipe, there'll be a third line under "Categories" and "Ingredients" listing the Bookmark title. But as there's no visual indicator/icon, it's hard to spot if you're scrolling through a long list of recipes, and basically impossible to find when the recipes list has been broken out into multiple pages. I wish there was a Bookmarks tab for each book so you can see in one consolidated view every recipe you've bookmarked -- e.g. within this one book, these are all my "Quick and Easy Weeknight" recipes, these are all the recipes I marked "Dinner Party", etc. Unless I'm missing something?


Related note: If you're searching recipes within a book, the results list doesn't display that third "Bookmarks" line underneath Categories and Ingredients. Also, if you remove a book from your bookshelf, then later add it back on, all your bookmarks for that book are gone!


2) Export all the notes you've entered for each recipe/book? Or are all of one's own notes "locked" within EYB? 


Thank you for your help!

Apologies for the delay in our reply. This post somehow was overlooked.


You can filter by your recipe Bookmarks for any book, magazine or online recipes. Click the Recipes tab on your Bookshelf then enter into the search terms box the book title and/or author. Now you see a list of recipes for that title. To just see your Bookmarked recipes for that title use the Only Show filters on the right under Only Show. So if you just want to see "Quick and Easy Weeknight" recipes, then select that Bookmark.


Bookmarks are a feature of your Bookshelf so if you want to see and use Bookmarks, always search within your Bookshelf. The EYB Library is the EYB data so no Bookmarks are shown in those searches.


If you remove a book from your Bookshelf then all those recipes are also no longer part of your Bookshelf, so any associated Bookmarks are also removed. You cannot have Bookmarks for something not in your collection. 


Notes cannot be exported. You could copy and paste them from your Profile page Notes tab into a text file. Your Profile is accessed from the drop-down menu under your username at top right.
