1. What favorites are

A favorite is a bookmarked space. You can favorite:

• Individual resources, such as a desk or a parking spot
• Areas, such as your team's desk zone
• Meeting rooms

Favorites are personal to your account, stay saved across sessions, and appear at the top of the list on the Book page. You can also manage them in your profile under Your spaces.

Favorites also feed Suggested for you on the Book page and automated booking. If you favorite an area, deskbird can pick a free desk inside that area for you.
