They may be saved in the remote user environment, or they may rely on browser account synchronization. It is necessary to distinguish between desktop persistence and account synchronization.
Understand the essentials
Rebuilding the desktop, changing users, or not logging in to the synchronization account may change the content you see.
A practical example
Hypothetical example: If you change a local device to connect to the same remote session, the bookmark may still be there; if you change the remote environment, this may not be the case.

- Export important bookmarks.
- Check the synchronization range.
- Clean up the old environment after validating the new environment.
