Use Cases

Create highlights

Mark the desired text excerpt and select the color needed in the color picker; the highlight will be set accordingly.
You can navigate through your highlights in a document by selecting the highlight sidebar and clicking on the respective entries.

  1.  Long press and swipe to mark the position → the text is marked
  2. Select the desired color

Notes:

On touch devices, such as the iPad / iPhone, the system needs to differentiate between a simple swipe gesture and the actual marking of a highlight. In order to fascilitate this, you must long press and swipe to set the highlight.

Your highlights and notes will be synchronized with the next sync iteration and made available on all platforms.

 

Navigate highlights

In the document view there is a dedicated tab (1.) to see all the highlights you set for this particular document.

Notes:

  • Sort order: All highlights are listed in the order of the appearance in the document.
  • You can identify highlights containing notes by the 'note symbol in the highlight bubble (2.)

 

Delete a highlight

Select the the highlight to be deleted by clicking on the actual marking. Select Delete from the toolbar, confirm that you really want to remove and the highlight will be removed.

Note: If the highlight contains a note, you will be asked to delete both.

Add or delete a note

Click on the highlight and select Note. A small text editor opens and you are able to create your personal note. 

In the note editor you can create your personal note that is attached to this highlight.

  • Cancel deletes the modification (set back to last saved state)
  • Save stores the note
  • Trash-bin will delete the note - the highlight remains set

 

Delete a note but keep the highlight

To delete a note simply click on the highlight containing the desired note and click on the trash symbol to only delete the note. To delete the highlight and the note simply select Remove from the toolbar and confirm that you want to remove the highlight and the note (see delete a highlight).

Toggle highlights and notes

You can toggle (on/off) the highlights if your reading is disturbed by the highlights or highlights are overlapping with other markings such as the comparison view in the viewing settings:

Transfer of highlights & notes

Automatic transfer

Highlights (and notes) are generally automatically transferred.

Manual transfer

If the content has changed though, the system can not automatically place the highlight in the new revised module. The system will display a warming and indicate that there are highlights to be transfered.

To manually transfer a highlight of revised content please follow below steps. 

  1.  Click on the chevron under the section ‘Transfer highlights’
  1.  select the highlight that you intend to replace and click on ‘Transfer’:
  • If you do not like to transfer the highlight select ‘Delete’. The highlight will not be moved to the new revision but still be visible in the old revision.
  1.  Confirm by clicking ‘Transfer’

Select the new position where the highlight should be placed.

The highlight with all its attributes (such as color and note) will be copied to the new revision:

  1.  You can find your already transfered highlights under the ‘Done’ highlights:

 

Remarks:

  • The highlight on the previous revision will still be accessible in the outdated revision of the document. 
  • Attributes of a highlight (coler & note) will be transferred with the highlight it belongs to.
