💡 PRO TIPS & GOOD TO KNOW 💡
➡️ Enable/disable the highlighter popup via the settings and highlight using keyboard shortcuts or by right-clicking text.
➡️ Customize keyboard shortcuts at chrome://extensions/shortcuts
➡️ Some websites may have limited compatibility.
➡️ Local PDF support requires access to file URLs (see PDF setup guide: https://web-highlights.com/blog/how-to-highlight-pdfs-using-web-highlights).
➡️ Right-click images to save them to your sidebar of highlights & notes.
➡️ Use as a web clipper – Click the bookmark icon or right-click any website to save pages and add tags like "ReadingList" for easy reference later.
➡️ Disable extension on specific websites: Click the power icon in the sidebar to disable the highlighter on a site. You can also configure a blacklisted domain list with patterns in the settings under "Excluded" domains.
➡️ Sort highlights manually: Highlights should appear in the same order as on the page. If not, use the drag & drop or arrows in your annotation sidebar to rearrange them as needed.
➡️ Customizable Sidebar: Change the sidebar width by dragging its edge, and align it on the left or right side of the page for a personalized experience.
➡️ Switch to Advanced Highlighter Mode in settings to organize highlights with headings, paragraphs, and more in the sidebar.
➡️ Multiple Colors: Choose from predefined standard and pastel shades or click the plus icon to add your own custom color.
➡️ Note Taking: Use standard keyboard shortcuts like CMD + B for bold, CMD + U for underline, etc., in the note-taking editor for efficient formatting.
➡️ Reader Mode: Click “Open in Reader” to view any article in a clean, distraction-free layout with customizable fonts, colors, and spacing. A copy of the article is saved so you can read and highlight it with full focus — even if the original changes or disappears.
➡️ Focus highlights on website: Click on a highlight in the sidebar, and the page will scroll directly to the highlighted section for quick access.
➡️ Color Mode: Switch between dark and light mode by clicking the sun/moon icon in the sidebar.
➡️ Your data is always private unless you choose to share it.
