I am using WAB DE 2.0. The Bookmark Widget.

Is there a way export a bookmark to a local drive that saves the extent as well as which layers were turned on?

Also, can these Bookmarks be brought back into the WebMap and reopened?

Tim,

  The Bookmark widget already uses the browsers local storage to save the bookmarks added to the clients machine. But no there is no export and import ability that you can manually trigger. But the next time you open your WAB app on that same machine then the bookmarks you added will be available.

Robert,

I am in a situation where many of the main users of our WebMap sit at multiple different computers throughout their shifts. Not always the same machine.

When I add a custom bookmark, in what folder does the file reside on the local drive?

Tim,

  It is not as simple as one certain physical file:

javascript - Browsers Storage - physical Location? - Stack Overflow
