To remove an item and all of its copies in the various folders in My Favourites, click on the green tick icon next to the item in the search results.

Viewing items saved in My Favourites

To view items that are saved in My Favourites, click the Pin icon on the top bar (“go to my favourites”).

Labelling Pins Items

You can organise the pinned items in your favourites list using labels. Click the pen icon underneath a pinned item to add a label. Giving different items the same label allows you to organise them into groups. You can add as many labels as you need to a pinned item if you want them to appear in multiple groups.

To view a list of labelled items use the Labels option on the right-hand side and select the label you wish to display. Pinned items with that label will then display.
