Highlights and Notes

The Highlights and Notes feature allows you to highlight text and add comments directly in the browser. To use the tool, simply start highlighting the text you would like to save with your cursor. A dialog box will then appear where you can select the highlight color and add notes. Once you have made your selections make sure to select the Save icon.

As you can see from the print preview, the exported highlights and notes page will include only the saved text and notes, not the full article.
