Links Manager — User Guide | YoBench

What the Links module does

The module is a manager for the URLs you use most often, right inside YoBench. Instead of a chaotic browser bookmark bar, you organize links into named groups, reorder them by drag-and-drop, and open them in the system browser with one click. Data lives only locally in YoBench's encrypted database — no cloud sync.

What you get:

• Link groups — collect URLs into thematic sections (e.g. "Documentation", "Internal services", "Dashboards").
• Drag-and-drop ordering — both the order of groups and the order of links inside a group are changed by dragging.
• One click — open — clicking a link card opens it in your default system browser.
• Automatic favicons — the site icon is fetched on the fly (via the Google S2 Favicons API). If unavailable, the first letter of the title is shown.
• Local-only storage — data never leaves your machine.

Data structure

Two levels:

• Group — fields: name, sort order.
• Link — fields: title, URL (globally unique in the database), order within the group, optional group binding.

Links without a group land in the Ungrouped section.

Parameters

Group parameters

• Name — required.
• Sort order — changed by drag-and-drop, not edited directly.

There is no group color, icon, or collapse state — every group is always expanded.

Link parameters

• Title — required.
• URL — required and unique across the whole database (the same URL cannot be added twice).
• Group — optional. Without a group the link goes to Ungrouped.
• Favicon — automatic, based on the domain. Manual upload/picker is not supported.

There are no descriptions, tags or notes per link.

Global settings

The module has no dedicated entries in the central Settings section. Everything is configured directly on the Links page.

Actions

On a link:

• Click the card — open in the system browser.
• Edit (gear icon) — change title, URL or group via the side panel.
• Delete (× icon) — remove the link (with confirmation).
• Drag — change order within the group.

On a group:

• Drag — change the group order.
• Delete — remove the group (with confirmation). Linked links are not deleted — they're detached and moved to Ungrouped.

Drag-and-drop between groups is not supported yet — to change a link's group, open edit and pick a different group from the dropdown. Renaming a group is also not supported — create a new one, reassign links via edit, and delete the old group.

Workflow

1. Create groups

1. Open the Links module from the left sidebar.
2. Click Link groups → Add group.
3. Type a name.
4. Save.

2. Add links

1. Click Add in the page header.
2. Fill in title and URL.
3. Pick a group (or leave Ungrouped).
4. Save.

3. Open a link

Clicking a card opens the URL in your default browser.

4. Reorder

• Drag a link card to a new position within the same group.
• Drag a group by its header to change the global order.

5. Manage links

• Gear — edit.
• × — delete.
• Deleting a group moves its links to Ungrouped; nothing is lost.

Next steps

• Save interesting articles into RAG contexts via the RSS module — a handy way to build a knowledge base.
• For dashboards combining data from every module, use the Dashboard.
