After startup WebSite-Watcher is in idle mode and you have to check the bookmarks manually or turn on the AutoWatch mode. With AutoWatch you can check bookmarks periodically with predefined time settings.
The following methods can be used to check bookmarks manually:
Check all bookmarks in the selected folder
Select the folder you want to check
Press the Check button , or use the shortcut F9
(Shift+Click on a folder will also start the check)
Check all bookmarks in ALL folders
Select the folder "All bookmarks"
Press the Check button , or use the shortcut F9
Check selected bookmarks
Select the bookmarks you want to check
Right click the selection and choose "Check Bookmarks", or use the shortcut Ctrl+K
Check all Hotsites
Use the Shortcut Ctrl+Shift+H
The shortcut Ctrl+Shift+H selects the folder "Hotsites" and checks all bookmarks in it.
When you start a check, the bookmarks are placed in a check queue and a grey earth appears on the left side of the bookmark. If a bookmark is actually checked, a blue globe is displayed. If the check has finished, the earth will be removed.
