★ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & CUSTOMER SUPPORT:
For frequently asked questions (FAQs) and customer support, please see: https://weavatools.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals
★ IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
➤ Please note that Weava only visually renders the highlights from your current active folder.
➤ You can enable/disable the Weava highlighter pop-up with the keyboard shortcut Alt+S (Option+S on Mac). And you can customise your Weava shortcuts in your Google Chrome settings (chrome://extensions/shortcuts)
➤ While Weava works on most websites, please note that some websites have conflicting code that results in the Weava highlighter not functioning properly.
➤ Weava fetches and visually renders your colour highlights based on the respective URL you first made the highlight on (for websites and online PDFs). Please note that, while your highlights and annotations are always saved in the Weava sidebar and dashboard, if the website URL for some reason changes, then the visual rendering of your highlights are not visible unless you update the URL in the "Edit Source" functionality on the Weava dashboard.
➤ You can 1) highlight local PDFs directly from your computer. 2) Online PDFs, and 3) upload PDFs directly to Weava. Uploading PDFs will ensure you the smoothest experience.
➤ You are currently unable to directly highlight on PDFs inside certain 3rd party software, such as in Google Classroom, Blackboard and Canvas. Instead you would need to first download the PDF and then use it with Weava. We hope to have better solutions towards this in the future.
★ WEAVA CHROME EXTENSION PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED:
Weava's requested permissions are needed for Weava to function properly. However, the exact phrases provided by Chrome for these permissions are misleading and make them sound more invasive than they actually are — and you will generally see the same exact warnings on practically all Chrome extensions. Here's a further breakdown of the required permissions to run Weava:
① "Read and change all your data on the website you visit"
➤ "Read": The Weava Chrome extension has passed all of Google’s automated and manual security checks and is safe to use. The extension reads the current URL of the page you make highlights on - and is also checking if you have existing highlights on this URL so that it can visually show these to you. That's it.
➤"Change": Weava needs to modify the website you are visiting in order to show you the Chrome extension highlighter pop-up on top of it. Weava also needs this permission to be able to change the text background colour accordingly whenever you make a highlight.
② "Modify data you copy and paste."
➤ Weava needs this permission simply to create and save the highlights you are making. Without it we would just be a nice colour tool but without the capabilities to save the exact content you highlighted and show this to you in the Weava sidebar and dashboard.
③ Separately, in the Weava Chrome extension settings, you can enable "Allow access to file URLs" which gives Weava permission to read PDF local file paths so that you can highlight PDFs directly from local files on your computer. Similarly to highlights on websites, it ONLY reads the file path of the file you are highlighting on and it is only doing this in order to be able to save the highlight and to fetch and visually render these highlights on subsequent visits.
By installing the extension, you agree to Weava's Terms and and Privacy Policy (https://weavatools.com/terms-and-privacy).

- (2024-03-19) Diêgo Araújo: De ótima extensão para péssima.
- (2024-01-29) Marros Saldanha: Muito prático e ótima usabilidade
- (2024-01-20) K D: Haven't seen any feature updates for years. Looks like another abandoned software. Nowadays, people are more inclined to use bookmark/tab/window/session management software like Workona and others. Three years ago, I requested a simple feature: to treat a folder as a "bookmark" folder, allowing one to open all the links in it simultaneously. Such a straightforward enhancement would enable this software to double as a bookmark manager. However, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
- (2024-01-06) Antonella Massaro: I use this app all the time while studying and researching, it's extremely helpful. The premium version adds some nice features but for a basic use the free version is more than enough. Absolutely try it if you're a student or a person who highlights their physical books!
- (2023-12-13) Essi: Edit // Tool breaking problems. Very slow and clunky. Interface will pop over the text you are highlighting. I cannot recommend currently. Review from December 2020: I really like this add-on! It is a lifesaver when it comes to reading and highlighting key points from the scientific articles I read for my degree. Pros: ++ Reliably remembers highlights (I have had issues with other add-ons) + Folders and subfolders + Also works PDF files you open in browser (both local and web) + Overview of all the papers I have highlighted (and thus read) in a single glance Cons: - frequently struggles with logging in when Privacy Badger and uBlock are enabled - the premium is pricey for a student (but has extensive free functionality) - no Firefox add-on at the moment ;( - can't change the order of folders
- (2023-12-05) Даниил Кущенко: Всё отлично, однако скорость выполнения операция нереально заторможенная
- (2023-11-29) Luis “Hazz” R: El programa no es muy bueno. Weava no permite guardar los cambios en los documentos, tiene problemas para que uno se desplace con facilidad dentro del texto en el que está trabajando y se borran las notas o partes subrayadas.
- (2023-11-29) Sophia Salinas: A veces funciona a veces no
- (2023-11-24) VD Mircea: yes, it is smart, for the right hand!
- (2023-11-24) Larisa - Lara: Yes, there are some bugs. But in general it helps me very much. Thanks!
- (2023-11-21) luka wohlwend: es Wäre eine coole app und nützlich in der funktion jedoch hat es im moment das problem immer aufzuploppen und nicht wegzugehen auch wenn ich nichts markieren wil was sehr mühsam ist behebt das und ihr kriegt 5 sterne
- (2023-11-16) Dra Sidnéia Gomes: Excelente
- (2023-10-30) Yaowen Zheng: I just saw the donation page. As an old fan of this software, I liked it, and I always opened it when it was doing a good job and fast response. However, currently, this plugin is slow and hard to use. I have donated a cup of 'coffee.' I hope you can improve the efficiency and performance of the software so that I have a reason to donate more, just like I donate to Wikipedia.
- (2023-10-16) Rohim Chou: UI really hard to use
- (2023-10-15) Deyaniera González: no sirve:(((((((
- (2023-10-04) Jonggeun Park: So many glitches and errors. Please delete this app from the store cause this app keeps making agonies for users.
- (2023-10-03) Henrique Machado: Ótima funcionalidade. Simples e muito prático. Aos que se preocupam em perder os grifos, o Weava pode sincronizar com a conta do Google, então os grifos serão salvos na nuvem e não serão perdidos. No meu computador, a extensão começou a travar o Chrome repetidas vezes. Precisei desinstalar.
- (2023-10-02) Siddharth Bhatia: Worked Perfectly until a few weeks ago. Then it signed out and keeps asking me to sign back in again every few days. More urgently, when I open the extension Home page my laptop fans start spinning very loudly and my whole laptop slows down! There is some MAJOR bug going on here. The extensions doesn't seem to be working right at all. Request to the developers: Please fix this extension. Roll it back to the older version if needed. It is a great and very useful extension when it works right. Oct 9, 2022, Update: It is Oct 1, 2023. Nearly one year later. This extension's problems have not been resolved, and have in fact increased! It's become glitchier, laggier, and more painful to use. Worst of all, it's performance makes my laptop's fans kick into overdrive and sound like engines! This is an extension that highlights text, what exactly is so intensive about that? Requesting an explanation from the devs on this.
- (2023-09-25) Lily Smith: very glitchy, especially when scrolling though a piece. the highlighter itself is glitchy too, it often doesn't work the first time or won't show up for several seconds.
- (2023-09-24) Arliah Preece: Has really good potential, but really just couldn't use it. I cant even highlight anything cause it requires a sign in to do anything, why do I need to sign in to highlight things? :/
- (2023-09-23) Katja Virta: I could not get rid of Weava on a printed page. Disable did not help. Only way was to completely removing extension.
- (2023-09-22) Lía: ya no me funciona, no puedo resaltar:(
- (2023-09-18) Michael H: I used this regularly and was great for when I write documentation. It is now updated where to use it, it requires a log-in. No thank you.
- (2023-09-16) Wind: Its good for the website i use it. press the icon for the extension and then you can copy paste from the online pdf. i guess. This one. works well https://www.companionbiblecondensed.com/OT/Deuteronomy.pdf
- (2023-09-13) La Capu: Se revuelven mucho las palabras, ayer no me abria mi pdf ni aunque lo subiera funcionó.
- (2023-09-07) 이하영: 기능 자체만 보면 5점 주고 싶음. 근데 쓰다보면 chrome이 너무 느려짐. 다른 사람들도 비슷한 언급이 예전부터 있는거보면 해결이 안되는 부분인듯. 아쉽지만 다시 라이너로 돌아가야하나...?
- (2023-09-04) Hector O: Es una excelente herramienta, lo unico y dejar en 5 estrellas, añadir la opcion de desplazarse una distancia mayor una vez se ha seleccionado el texto (en configurar - settings), esto, porque queda muy encima del texto y dificultad otras acciones, como traducir en sitio.
- (2023-09-04) Skay x: I wonder since 2 weeks why my browser became so slow. Found out it is because of weava. Weava uses so much ram. Chrome (10 tabs activ) without Weava: https://i.imgur.com/PqlmTlI.png Chrome (10 tabs activ) with Weava: https://i.imgur.com/tJgCTGY.png
- (2023-08-30) Md Saquib: i think dark mode have to visible
- (2023-08-26) Marisol Asesora Financiera: Ya no sirve :(
- (2023-08-23) babuinita huerta: Me ha resultado muy útil. Tiene detalles pero estoy aprendiendo a darles la vuelta en lo que los desarroladores lo arreglan. Luego como que se traba y tengo que apagarla y encenderla otra vez, refrescar navegador o reiniciar navegador, cerrar otras pestañas de mi navegador, el pdf es excelente idea creo que se traba entre seleccionar y picar el color. Gracias!!
- (2023-08-22) gabriel tovar: Great tool, it´s quite useful for people who read a lot from different pages, i really recommend it
- (2023-08-16) Pastor Roland: I really love this extension!!👍🏻👌🏼 ONE QUESTION: IN the apps store used to be available an app for my iPhone. I can not find it any more but would love to install it on a different device. Do you know why the app is not available any more? 🙏🏻
- (2023-08-14) Shichang Liao: Good
- (2023-08-11) Mehmet: trash UI
- (2023-08-01) rstefan250: I need to sign up? Really? Somuch work...
- (2023-07-31) Mike: Keeps crashing my browser, and its glitchy. Garbage
- (2023-07-30) MoonFlowah: I like the highlighting feature which is convenient. What ruined it for me is the fact that it won't let me download my highlighted files properly there's always an error or problem. My time was heavily wasted.
- (2023-07-29) Soumili Bera: I've just started using it, and so far I like the concept of this extension. but I can't use it on some websites eg: w3school, Chatgpt. this is one down side of this extension that I saw. will be grateful if someone explain me why this is happening and if there is any way I can use this on both the websites.
- (2023-07-29) RedHunter: 최근 며칠전부터 갑자기 CPU/메모리/전력사용량이 폭등하고 있음을 발견... 이후 탭 몇개만 띄어도 웹서핑 자체가 불가한 수준이됨;; 왠지 의심이 되서 사용 off 전환하니 바로 해결됨 참고들 하세요

- (2023-07-25) Cesar Augusto Arias Peñaranda: Como estudiante de doctorado, esta herramienta me ha facilitado el proceso de lectura de muchos documentos que son necesarios para mi ejercicio de reflexión, 100% recomendada. La recomiendo con mis estudiantes de pregrado para las asignaturas de investigación.
- (2023-07-14) Tuấn Anh: ok
- (2023-07-11) EJ Chippett: This doesn't work at all, great concept but I can't actually get the extension to run on my browser tabs
- (2023-07-10) Karol Marinho: Até o momento está funcionando. Porém, tenho receio de perder os grifos.
- (2023-07-08) Hassan Sair: the perfect chrome highlighter!
- (2023-07-07) Arantxa Unzueta: Es una buenísima idea de herramienta, pero funciona regular. Ralentiza muchísimo el navegador y el lector de PDF de los documentos que subes rompe la estructura del texto, de forma que hace difícil subrayar cosas con sentido a veces.
- (2023-07-01) maria cecilia marino: acabo de descargar y no puedo usar....no resalta en paginas web por ahora califico como bajo.....
- (2023-07-01) Feyisayo Adepoju: Weava tool is one of the best if not the best highlighting tool I have used so far. Especially when working on manuscripts, since I can save relevant ideas without the need to download the papers
