What This Does
Learn how source words and your own ideas fit together in Highlights, notes and your draft.
While you read, Helperbird lets you save notes and highlight passages on any page. Highlights & Notes brings those into the Notepad, so you can pull a quote or a thought straight into what you are writing instead of hunting for it again.
Who is This For?
This is helpful for:
- Students writing something up from pages they read earlier
- Anyone gathering quotes for an essay or a report
- People who research first and write afterwards
- Anyone who has highlighted something and cannot remember where
Step 1: Open Highlights & Notes
Choose Highlights & Notes in NotePad's top toolbar. The library opens above the document, so your writing stays on the same page.
Saved items appear as cards. If the library is empty, choose New note or save a highlight from a webpage.
Step 2: Find the Note
Use All, Notes or Highlights to filter your saved items. Type into Search notes and highlights… to narrow the cards. The clear button inside the field removes your query.
Step 3: Click It to Add It
Open the card you want. Its editor shows the note text or captured highlight. Choose Insert into Notepad to add it to your document.
The saved item remains in your library. Close the library when you want more room to write.
