• By default, the "Places" panel is usually located on the *left side* of the Dolphin window.
• It might be titled "Places" or "Bookmarks".
• If it's not visible, you can access it via the menu: `View` -> `Panels` -> `Show Left Panel` (or similar, depending on your setup).

• **Method 1 (Right-click Context Menu):**
• Navigate to the folder or location you want to add (e.g., a specific project folder, a network share, your Desktop).
• Right-click on the item's name in the main Dolphin view (usually in the sidebar or the location bar).
• From the context menu, select `Add Bookmark...` (or `Add to Places`/`Add to Bookmarks`).
• A dialog may appear asking for a name (you can leave it as the default or edit it). Click `OK`.
• The item should now appear in the "Places" panel.
• **Method 2 (Places Menu):**
• Click on the dropdown arrow next to the "Places" panel title (it might say "Open..." or have a down arrow).
• Select `Add...` from the dropdown menu.
• A dialog will appear. Browse to the location you want to add.
• You can optionally edit the name. Click `OK`.
• The item will appear in the "Places" panel.

• Click on any item in the "Places" panel to instantly navigate to that location.

• Right-click on an item within the "Places" panel.
• You should see options like `Edit...`, `Remove`, and `Properties...`.
• Use these to modify existing entries or delete them.

**Key Notes:**

• The term "Favorites" is often used interchangeably with "Places" or "Bookmarks" in Dolphin.
• Dolphin automatically includes some common locations (like "Home", "Desktop", "Computers", "Network", etc.) in the "Places" panel.
• You can edit the list of places via the `Places` menu (select `Edit Bookmarks...`).

This process allows you to create a convenient list of frequently accessed locations directly within Dolphin.
