Organizing Collection

You can organize collected Web pages in ScrapBook Sidebar as a tree similar to Bookmarks Tree, sorting items by drag-and-drop, creating folder and putting items into it, and so on. You can open ScrapBook Sidebar by:
* Clicking in Firefox toolbar
* Firefox menubar, [View] > [Sidebar] > [ScrapBook]
