Check pages automatically (with AutoWatch)

Alternatively to the manual bookmark check, WebSite-Watcher supports an automated check where bookmarks can be monitored with predefined time settings (called AutoWatch). Working with the AutoWatch mode consists of two steps:

  1. Enable AutoWatch in the bookmark properties
  2. Start the AutoWatch mode


There are several ways how AutoWatch can be enabled

  1. Right click a bookmark, open the bookmark properties and select the AutoWatch tab. In that tab you can enable the AutoWatch feature and optionally some time settings when the bookmark should be checked.

    You can do the same for more bookmarks at once: Select all bookmarks for which AutoWatch should be enabled and right click them. Then choose the menu entry "Set properties in all selected bookmarks..."

  2. Drag&Drop bookmarks to the AutoWatch folder. This will enable the AutoWatch flag for the dragged bookmarks. As time setting WebSite-Watcher will use the predefined time from the general options.

  3. In the general program configuration you can pre-define AutoWatch settings for new bookmarks (button "Assign bookmark properties"). This can also be done per folder via the folder properties.

All bookmarks with enabled AutoWatch flag are listed in the AutoWatch folder.


Start the AutoWatch mode

Click the AutoWatch button in the main toolbar to start the AutoWatch mode. Bookmarks are only monitored automatically when this button is checked.
