What should you do with this HTML file?

Once you save it, you'll have a file like bookmarks_10_20_26.html. Save a copy to a USB drive or cloud folder so it's not just sitting on your desktop.

When you're ready to import it, go to the same menu and select Import instead of Export. Your folders, links, and descriptions carry over as-is.
