A bookmark in Docs is just like a bookmark that you would use to mark your place in a novel. You use bookmarks to mark a location in a document so that you can quickly find and jump back to it.
You can select text, a select picture, or simply place the cursor at a specific location.
The bookmark is added, and a bookmark symbol appears in the margin as a reminder.
Bookmarks are most helpful when used as links for navigation. At the end of our paper, we have an Index page to list popular topics.
