Creating and Managing Bookmarks

You can use bookmarks to tag particular timestamps of interest in the current session trace. Bookmarks are managed through the Bookmarks menu options, which allow you to create, organize, export and import bookmarks.

Bookmarks appear as horizontal lines highlighted in green across the location at which they were added in the Trace View:
