How to Add Annotations to Documents on Desktop
Anything you highlight in a Document becomes a snippet - saved into a Topic, searchable, and still linked back to the page it came from.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”Your Document needs to be open in Reader. Two ways to get it there:
-
It’s on your computer → upload it
-
It’s online PDF → open it straight from its URL, or click the Cluing extension icon while viewing it. No need to download it first.
Highlight and save a snippet
Section titled “Highlight and save a snippet”It works exactly like highlighting on any webpage. When your Document opens in Reader, the extension opens with it - so you can start straight away.
-
Pick the Topic you’re collecting into
-
Highlight any text - a snippet preview appears
-
Press Enter, or click Create
