WEB ANNOTATION TOOL FOR CHROME
Highlight useful text, leave notes on webpages, save important passages with their source, and organize everything without leaving your browser.
When you are reading across several sources, the useful part is often one sentence or one paragraph rather than the whole page.
Saving the exact passage makes it much easier to remember what mattered — especially when the original source is still one click away.
A short note can capture the question, comparison, or next step that was in your head while you were reading.
ONE TOOL, FOUR LAYERS OF CONTEXT
Use the level of annotation that fits the moment: highlight a passage, leave a page-specific note, save the source, or organize it for later.
Mark the exact sentence or paragraph that made the page useful.
Leave reminders, questions, or ideas directly on the webpage where they belong.
Save useful passages with the original page so the surrounding context is never lost.
Use folders and Favorites to keep research, projects, and topics separated.
ANNOTATION IN THE PAGE
Research Web Highlighter is designed around the webpage you are already using. Capture something useful, add your own context, and move on without breaking the reading flow.

FROM ANNOTATION TO LIBRARY
Saved highlights become part of a searchable library. Keep notes with the material they refer to, use folders for different projects, and reopen the original page whenever you need more context.
