Very nice, i quickly read it, it seem you speak about dvc-status in the
dvc bookmark section.
dvc-status and dvc-bookmarks are two differents things.
Or may be the section of dvc-bookmarks is just missing and you start
speaking of dvc-status just after?

C-x V b runs the command dvc-bookmarks

C-x V s runs the command dvc-status

You can add bookmarks from dired with

C-c V a runs the command dvc-bookmarks-dired-add-project

BTW is there a link in emacswiki to your tutorial?
