SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:AddToFavorites>
      <tns:authenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:authenticationTicket>

  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Notes

Documents and folders are both supported. The API first attempts to resolve itemPath as a document; if no document is found, it falls back to resolving it as a folder.
Document shortcuts are resolved to their target document before being added. The target document is what appears in the user's favorites list, not the shortcut itself.
Duplicate behavior differs by item type:
- If a document is already in the user's favorites, the API returns success="false" with an error message.
- If a folder is already in the user's favorites, the API returns success="true" silently (idempotent).
Favorites are per-user — adding an item to favorites does not affect any other user's favorites list.
Use RemoveFromFavorites to remove an item and GetFavorites to retrieve the current user's favorites list.

RemoveFromFavorites - Remove a document or folder from the current user's favorites
GetFavorites - Retrieve the current user's favorites list
