How do I configure Chrome managed bookmarks?

If you're looking to configure the bookmarks available in managed Chrome, you can use the below format. More examples can be found via Google's documentation.

[
  {
    "toplevel_name": "Company bookmarks"
  },
  {
    "name": "Homepage",
    "url": "mydomain.com"
  },
  {
    "children": [
      {
        "name": "HR",
        "url": "mydomain.com/hr"
      },
      {
        "name": "Submit a ticket",
        "url": "mydomain.com/it-support"
      }
    ],
    "name": "Internal URLs"
  },
  {
    "name": "Android resources",
    "url": "bayton.org/android"
  }
]

Be aware on managed Android devices, bookmarks can't be placed on the home screen. For that use case, you should consider web apps instead.

Other things to consider -

• The order you input the subfolders and URLs reflects directly in Chrome
• If you input a child folder (eg: "children"), ensure you list the name (eg: "name":"Internal URLs")
• All normal json rules apply. You can use a json validator to be sure it's valid before committing it
• If Chrome doesn't show the bookmarks, though other configs (eg homepage) change, the syntax is invalid
