The Bookmarks Window will appear...,

"Select" The Folder (WebStudy Folder below) ...,
(or individual) Bookmark you want to "Check" for Changes.
(Remember..., your Bookmarks will/may appear Different)

No Marks mean the Page has not changed

Bright Marks mean the Bookmark ( for that Web Page) has "Changed".

Question Marks mean Netscape "cannot tell" if there have been changes.

This feature is of "limited value"..., but perhaps you might find it useful!
