Annotating and Highlighting Text

When reading the full text of a document, it is possible to make your own notes and highlights to the text. Simply use the left mouse button to drag the mouse cursor over the text you want to annotate or highlight and a pop up will appear that allows you to choose a highlighter colour or make an annotation (Figure 1).

Once you have highlighted the text or annotated the text, it will appear on the full text itself and you will be able to locate your notes by clicking on the tab to the right hand side of the screen (Figure 2). Here you can edit or delete notes, navigate between notes etc. Each note on the full text can be clicked on to edit or delete as appropriate.
