Once you have created and organized your Bookmarks you will, naturally, want to navigate them.  Going to Edit -> Bookmarks you will get several options:

Let's take a look at each of these in turn:

 

[Next,Previous] Bookmark in Document -- allows you to restrict browsing to only those Bookmarks in the current open document independent of how they are organized in the Bookmarks Window.

 

So, even though I have tons of Bookmarks in different folders within the Bookmarks Window:

This option will only move between the Bookmarks in the current document ignoring any Bookmarks Window organization:

[Next,Previous] Bookmark in Folder -- allows you to restrict browsing to only those Bookmarks in the current folder in the Bookmarks Window independent of how they are arranged in the source code.

 

Pretty much the opposite of the previous feature, this feature ignores how the Bookmarks are organized in the source code and only moves within the Bookmarks in the current folder within the Bookmarks Window:

When you reach the last Bookmark in the folder:

It will loop back around to the first Bookmark in the current folder:

[Next,Previous] Bookmark - navigates between Bookmarks in the Bookmarks Window.  This feature is very similar to [Previous, Next] Bookmark In Folder and moves sequentially through Bookmarks:

The difference comes when you reach the last Bookmark in a folder.  Instead of looping back around to the first Bookmark in the folder this option will continue to the next folder and move sequentially through those Bookmarks as well (and so on.):
