Threat hunting typically requires reviewing mountains of log data looking for evidence of malicious behavior. During this process, investigators find events that they want to remember, revisit, and analyze as part of validating potential hypotheses and understanding the full story of a compromise.

Hunting bookmarks help you do this, by preserving the queries you ran in Log Analytics, along with the query results that you deem relevant. You can also record your contextual observations and reference your findings by adding notes and tags. Bookmarked data is visible to you and your teammates for easy collaboration.

You can revisit your bookmarked data at any time on the **Bookmark** tab of the **Hunting** page. You can use filtering and search options to quickly find specific data for your current investigation. Alternatively, you can view your bookmarked data directly in the **HuntingBookmark** table in Log Analytics. This enables you to filter, summarize, and join bookmarked data with other data sources, making it easy to look for corroborating evidence.

Currently in preview, if you find something that urgently needs to be addressed while hunting in your logs, in a couple of clicks, you can create a bookmark and promote it to an incident, or add the bookmark to an existing incident. For more information about incidents, see [Tutorial: Investigate incidents with Azure Sentinel](tutorial-investigate-cases.md).

> The log query results support bookmarks whenever this pane is opened from Azure Sentinel. For example, you select **General** > **Logs** from the navigation bar, select event links in the investigations graph, or select an alert ID from the full details of an incident (currently in preview). You can't create bookmarks when the **Logs** pane is opened from other locations, such as directly from Azure Monitor.

The investigation graph enables analysts to ask the right questions for each investigation. The investigation graph helps you understand the scope, and identify the root cause, of a potential security threat by correlating relevant data with any involved entity. You can dive deeper and investigate any entity presented in the graph by selecting it and choosing between different expansion options.
