Question - What's a "Bookmark" and how do I use it?
On the page: my_projects.php bookmark There's a "Bookmarks" tab.
If you are new to DP, it says "No projects bookmarked."
Answer(s) On any project page, you'll find a bookmark icon next to the title near the top. If you click on it, it will fill in / become solid, and you've bookmarked the project. Click again to un-bookmark it. Anything you've bookmarked will show up in the "Bookmarks" tab in My Projects.
The purpose is completely up to you and will probably be different for everyone. It was left as a generic list intentionally so it can be used for whatever you like.

Question - Is there a time limit for editing a page? Yes
Situation:
- Editing a page
- Get distracted for >= 4 hours
- Back to editing
- Page already completed by someone else
- What happened?
Answer(s)
- Once all pages checked out (page_out, (page_temp?) saved or saved-as-done ),
- the system will reclaim in-progress pages (page_temp?) that have not been saved for 4 hours (page_temp?).
- The 'clock' starts ticking once the last page of a project has been checked out.
- That could be weeks or months, or as little as 4 hours.
- The automation for this runs every 15 minutes, with logs here: automodify logs
