Favorites

Favorites are personal bookmarks for the items you work with most. Select the star on an item to add it to your favorites, and it becomes available in a dedicated Favorites view wherever that item is listed or selected.

Favorites are per user and per project: the items you favorite are yours alone and don't change what your teammates see.

The Favorites view in the Compositions listing shows only the compositions you've favorited.

You can favorite nine entity types, grouped below as they appear in the Experience menu of the main navigation:

Menu groupEntity types
AssemblyCompositions, composition patterns, and component patterns
ContentEntries, entry patterns, and assets
ModelingComponents, content types, and block types
The Compositions listing in grid view with a filled star on the compositions that have been favorited.
Favorited compositions show a filled star in the listing; hover an item to reveal its star.

Every place an item appears with a star, you can toggle its favorite state:

  • Add to favorites: select the star so it becomes filled.
  • Remove from favorites: select a filled star to clear it.

An item is either a favorite or it isn't — favoriting the same item from different places doesn't create duplicates.

note

In listings, the star for an item that isn't favorited appears when you hover over its row or card. Once an item is favorited, its star stays visible so you can spot your favorites at a glance.

Each content listing (Compositions, Entries, Assets, Components, Content types, Entry patterns, Component patterns, and Composition patterns) shows a star on every row or card. Use it to favorite or unfavorite an item without opening it.

When you open a composition, entry, asset, component, content type, block type, or pattern, its editor header shows a star next to the item name. This lets you favorite the item you're currently working on.

In an editor, select the star next to the item name to favorite what you're working on.

Every content listing has a Favorites item in its sidebar. Selecting it filters the listing to only the items of that type you've favorited.

Because block types are managed alongside content types, your favorite content types and block types both appear in the Favorites view of the Content types listing.

Favorites in the asset library

The Favorites view is available for the Uniform Asset Library. Assets exposed through DAM integrations aren't tracked as Uniform favorites.

Favorites also help you move faster when you're choosing an item, not just browsing one. A Favorites view is available in the selection experiences where these entity types are picked, including:

  • The asset parameter picker, when selecting an asset.
  • The type selector when creating an entry (content types and entry patterns) or creating a composition (composition types and composition patterns).
  • The component inserter when adding a component or component pattern to a slot in the visual editor.
  • The picker for reference fields and the switchers used to open another entry or composition.

Favoriting the types and patterns you reach for most keeps them one click away in these flows.

Selection experiences, such as the component inserter, include a Favorites view so your most-used items stay one click away.

The My recents card on the project dashboard includes an All / Favorites toggle. Switch it to Favorites to filter the card to the items you've favorited, connecting your favorites with your most recent work.

You can have up to 100 favorites per project. This limit is shared across all entity types — compositions, entries, assets, and everything else count toward the same total.

If you reach the limit, remove an existing favorite before adding a new one.

Favorites point to specific items. If an item you favorited is later deleted, it's no longer shown in your Favorites views and is removed from selection experiences automatically.
