162### 1.4.2 Remote bookmarks
151 163
152This version of Lagrange does not support automatic bookmark synchronization. By default all bookmarks are stored locally. However, a remote bookmarks feature is provided to allow accessing a set of bookmarks from everywhere. This way you can set up your own centralized bookmark pages or use any public Gemini page as a source of bookmarks. 164This version of Lagrange does not support automatic bookmark synchronization.

If you want to make local copies of all the links in the remote source, open the remote source page and use the "Import Links as Bookmarks..." context menu item on it. After refreshing remote sources, the remote copies of the bookmarks will not be shown any more. 170Note that remote bookmarks are read-only: they cannot be edited or tagged.
