Is there any way I can take a bookmark out from multiple documents?

I somehow managed to make one particular page a ‘document bookmark’ in all of the rest of my texts. I have a few hundred pages/chapters/characters.

I assumed if I deleted them all from the document itself, where everything else was cited as a bookmark, they would go away. But no. Every single chapter/text has that as a bookmark in the Document Book section.

Do I have to manually go through and deleted it from all of the chapters? There really should be a ‘remove from bookmarks’ section for Document Books, not just Project.

The only thing I can think of is to completely delete the page that is a bookmark (and in the Trash folder, click on ‘empty trash’), so that it will no longer appear as a bookmark. In order not to lose the information of the page, you can copy its text to another file, which will no longer be a bookmark.
I don’t know if there is a better way to do this.

Agree with Ainoa. Taking file x and duplicate. Now send the troublemaker to the trash and delete, which removes the Bookmark. Go back to the duplicate and remove the “-1” tacked on and should be good to go.

Are you sure it’s not a Project Bookmark?

Another possibility is there was an original document with a Document Bookmark reference to something in particular and the original document was saved as a Document Template. Each time you used the template, you brought along the Document Bookmark without seeing it, as Project Bookmarks have bookmark focus by default.
Another reason why I’d prefer to have a Project Bookmark and Document Bookmark as a tab right next to one another. There’s more than enough space in the Inspector for this, and I find the Ctrl+6 switch between bookmark types a quirky implementation or am I the only one who finds a mouse click quicker than a newfangled shortcut.

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve inadvertently done this.
