#Bookmarklets
A bookmarklet is a tool that you can keep on your bookmarks bar that performs an action when you click on it. Using a bookmarklet is probably the best way for an advanced contributor to link sentences that are not already indirectly linked. (See [Introduction to Linking](intro-linking).)
To install a Tatoeba bookmarklet easily, see "Drag-and-Drop" immediately below. For a more involved procedure, see "Build Bookmarklet by Copying Its Contents".
See [Sample Workflow Using a Bookmarklet to Link](link-with-bookmarklet) for instructions on how to use a bookmarklet to link sentences.
A bookmarklet will work the same way for any browser. It does not require you to install any browser extension.
## Drag-and-Drop
If your bookmarks/favorites toolbar is not displayed already, open it by right-clicking in the toolbar area and checking "Bookmarks Toolbar" or "Favorites Toolbar". Then go to [Tools for Tatoeba.org Members](http://bit.ly/tatoebatools) and drag one or more bookmarklets from the top of the page to your bookmarks toolbar. You will probably find that "Link to this Sentence - A" is the easiest one to use.
##Build a Custom Bookmarklet by Copying Its Contents
If you want to build a custom bookmarklet by copying its contents rather than performing drag-and-drop on a premade one, create a bookmark from any web page, change the name as desired, and set the "Location" or "URL" field to the bookmarklet string. (You can find the contents of Tatoeba link boomarklets at [List of Tatoeba bookmarklets](bookmarklet-details).)
##Customize a Bookmarklet by Editing Its Contents
If you have a bookmarklet on your bookmarks/favorites toolbar and want to edit its contents, right-click on the bookmarklet, select "Properties", and edit the contents of the "Location" or "URL" field. For example, imagine that you want to customize the "Go to Random Page of Untranslated Sentences" bookmarklet (see [List of Tatoeba bookmarklets](http://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/bookmarklet-details)) to search for a random page of sentences not translated from Spanish to Portuguese rather than from Esperanto to English. You would simply replace the instances of "epo" with "spa", and "eng" with "por".
