Highlight a Passage or Add a Note
You can use either the mouse or keyboard shortcuts to create, access, and delete notes. For more information on keyboard shortcuts, see Keyboard Shortcuts for Notes.
To highlight a passage or add a note with text and tags:
-
Select the text you want to highlight or make a note about. You can select as much text as needed.
-
Once you've selected the text, a pencil (edit) icon will appear above it. Select the icon to open the note editor.
-
In the note editor, you can:
- Enter your note and any tags you want to add.
- If you want to simply highlight the passage without adding a note or tags, select Save or press Enter. This will save the highlight with the words “no comment” in the note field when you hover over the highlighted text.
-
To add a note, select Comments, then type the text of your note. You can write as much as you want.
-
To add tags, select Add some tags here, and type any tags you want to include.
Note: Tags cannot contain spaces. If your tag has more than one word, you can either:
- Type the words together with no spaces, or
- Use hyphens (-) or underscores (_) to separate words.
- After you're done adding your note and tags, select Save or press Enter. The note editor will close, and the text you selected will remain highlighted.
