Setting a Bookmark

[Mike Chapman]

I understand that bookmarks are a "great way to flag changes" in the model.

Does anyone know if there is a great way to set a bookmark through the automation interface?

I see some ways to alter the visual representation of an object (ex  Element.SetAppearance(), DiagramObject.Style), but I don't see any reference to bookmarks in any of the interface descriptions that I'm (sort of) familiar with.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.  It appears that Bookmarks have been around since 2007, so I'm thinking it's quite possible that I am just not very good at finding things in the API documentation.

AFAIR bookmarks have been around (almost) ever since. The famous red triangle which can only been seen in diagrams and recently in search results. I rarely use them since linked issue elements provide much more information than the marker.

To flag changes I prefer to extend the Status property with "Updated, Added, Removed" (the latter means "marked for deletion").

Ah, thanks for the opinion on bookmarks, put that way, they don't seem to be as good of a fit for pointing out changes as I would have liked.

The status idea is a good logical fit, but it's not visible through the Project Browser.  To raise visibility in the Project Browser, I tried making some color changes via Element.SetAppearance() but nothing happened, so as a fallback hack, I am annotating the element name with a tag indicating changes as well.  Good enough for a demo...
