OmniWeb can keep track of the web sites you've bookmarked, automatically notifying you when a page is updated, when a page moves, or when a page disappears.
To manually check a bookmark (or several) for changes, select it (or them) in the bookmarks window/drawer and choose Check for Changes from the Bookmarks ▶ Edit Bookmarks menu. If a bookmarked site has changed since you last viewed it, its icon will change to a green icon (instead of the usual blue or graphite color). If OmniWeb wasn't able to reach a site when it tried to check it, its icon will change to a red icon.
(Bookmarks are marked as updated if their word count has changed appreciably since last you viewed them. Bookmarks are marked as unreachable if OmniWeb couldn't open a connection to the web server or if the server couldn't find the page the bookmark points to.)

You can have OmniWeb automatically check individual bookmarks at regular intervals by changing the settings in the Info window that appears when you choose Show Info from the Tools menu and select a bookmark.
Or you can choose to have all bookmarks checked automatically in Bookmark Preferences.
In the Bookmarks ▶ Edit Bookmarks menu, you'll find some other options for working with bookmark change checking:
- Mark as Read and Mark as Alive will reset the status of any selected bookmarks.
- Delete Dead Bookmarks... will open a panel allowing you to quickly delete bookmarks marked as unreachable.
- Open First Changed Bookmark will find the first bookmark marked updated in your bookmarks file and view the web site it points to.
Also, the Select next new bookmark and Filter dead bookmarks buttons at the bottom ofthe bookmarks window/drawer allow you to quickly step through your bookmarks list and view, delete, or otherwise act on bookmarks that have been marked updated or unreachable.
