If Fellow consistently opens to the same old meeting note instead of your current meetings, this is usually caused by bookmarks pointing to specific notes, browser tabs left open, or cached pages. Understanding what's causing this behavior helps you get Fellow to open where you need it - typically your current meetings or home panel.
Common Causes
Bookmarked a specific note
What's happening:
You bookmarked Fellow while viewing a specific meeting note
The bookmark URL includes the note ID
Opening the bookmark always loads that specific note
Example URL: myworkspace.fellow.app/meetings/abc123xyz (points to specific note)
How to fix: See Creating Better Bookmarks section below.
Browser tab left open
What's happening:
You left Fellow open in a browser tab on a specific note
Browser restored that tab when you reopened it
The old note loads instead of your current view
How to fix:
Close the old tab completely
Open Fellow fresh by typing the URL or using a proper bookmark
Navigate to where you want to be (Calendar, Library, etc.)
Cached page loading
What's happening:
Browser cache is loading an old version of Fellow
Cached page shows the last note you were viewing
How to fix:
Hard refresh the page: Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R
Clear browser cache for fellow.ai
Close and reopen Fellow
Creating Better Bookmarks
Instead of bookmarking specific notes, bookmark pages that always show current information:
Option 1: Bookmark the Calendar page
This always shows your current meetings:
Open your Calendar in Fellow
Look at the URL in your browser's address bar
Delete everything after /calendar/
Your URL should look like: myworkspace.fellow.app/calendar/
Bookmark this URL
When you open this bookmark, you'll see your current meetings list and can select which meeting to open.
Option 2: Bookmark the Action Items page
If you primarily use Fellow for action items:
Open your Calendar in Fellow
Look at the URL in your browser's address bar
Delete everything after /calendar/
Your URL should look like: myworkspace.fellow.app/calendar/
Bookmark this URL
How to Update Your Bookmark
If you already have a Fellow bookmark that opens to an old note:
Open the bookmark in your browser
Navigate to the page you want to bookmark instead (Calendar, Action Items, Library, etc.)
Edit the existing bookmark:
Chrome: Right-click bookmark bar > Edit
Safari: Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks
Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
Update the URL to the new page
Save changes
Alternatively, delete the old bookmark and create a new one.
Other Solutions
Clear browser history and cache
If bookmarks aren't the issue you can try the following to troubleshoot:
Open browser settings
Clear browsing data
Select Cached images and files
Select Cookies and site data
Clear data
Reopen Fellow
Check for pinned browser tabs
Look for pinned tabs in your browser (small tabs on the left)
If Fellow is pinned on an old note, unpin it
Close the tab and open Fellow fresh
Set a default homepage
Some browsers can set Fellow as your homepage:
If Fellow is your homepage and opens to an old note
Update homepage URL to workspace.fellow.app/calendar/
Fellow will now open to current meetings
Use the desktop app
The desktop app doesn't have bookmark issues:
Download the Fellow desktop app
App always opens to your last view or home panel
No bookmark-related issues
Prevention Tips
Avoid creating bookmarks on specific notes:
Bookmark the Calendar page instead
Use the Action Items page as a bookmark
Close Fellow tabs regularly
Use the desktop app
Use search instead of bookmarks:
Press Cmd/Ctrl + K to search for any meeting
Faster than navigating through bookmarks
