How to Manage Your Sticky Notes and Highlights in Helperbird

Learn how to delete, visit, search, and organize your sticky notes and highlights using the Notes app in Helperbird. A complete guide to managing your saved content.

·

What This Guide Covers

The Notes app in Helperbird stores all your sticky notes and highlights in one place. This guide shows you how to manage that saved content — including how to delete notes you no longer need, visit the original page where you created them, and keep everything organized.


Step 1: Open the Notes App

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar to open the Helperbird menu. Scroll down to the All Features section and click the arrow to expand it. Find and click Open Notes or Notebook to open the Notes app in a new tab.


Step 2: Filter by Notes or Highlights

At the top of the Notes app, you will see filter tabs:

  • Everything – Shows all your saved items
  • Notes – Shows only your sticky notes
  • Highlighter – Shows only your highlights
  • Extracted – Shows text you extracted from images

Click the Notes tab to see just your sticky notes, or click the Highlighter tab to see just your highlights. This makes it easier to find and manage specific items.


Step 3: Visit the Original Page

Each note or highlight has a Visit button on its card. Click Visit to open the original website where you created that sticky note or highlight. This is useful when you want to go back and review the full page or add more notes to it.


Step 4: Delete a Note or Highlight

To delete a single sticky note or highlight:

  1. Find the note or highlight you want to remove in the Notes app
  2. Click the Delete button in the top right corner of the card

The note or highlight will be permanently removed from your Notebook.


Step 5: Delete Multiple Notes at Once

If you want to clean up several notes or highlights at the same time:

  1. Click the Select Notes button at the top of the Notes app
  2. Click on each note or highlight you want to remove — each selected item will become highlighted
  3. Once you have selected everything you want to delete, click the Delete button

All selected items will be removed at once. Use the filter tabs first to narrow down what you see, so you can select items more easily.


Step 6: Search Your Notes

If you have a lot of saved content, use the search bar at the top of the Notes app. Type a keyword and your notes will be filtered instantly. This helps you find a specific sticky note or highlight without scrolling through everything.

Click the X next to the search bar to clear your search and see all notes again.


Step 7: Export or Print Your Notes

Before deleting notes, you may want to save a copy:

  1. Click Select Notes and choose the notes or highlights you want to keep
  2. Click the Export button to save them as a PDF file
  3. Or click the Print button to print a hard copy

Tip: Regularly export important highlights and notes before cleaning up your Notebook, so you always have a backup of your research and ideas.

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!

This chrome extension is absolutely amazing. I'm a Primary school teacher and it helps children with a broad range of needs. It's so easy to set up. I love the way it syncs across devices so set up is seamless across all the children's computers. The customizable features are a game changer for allowing children to enjoy reading and accessing the web in our school. The best application I have ever seen for school children. Looking forward to trying the iPad application soon.

My son has dyslexia and has been struggling with parts of distant learning over the last year. We recently discovered this software and he is loving everything about it, especially with the ease of following directions and completing his assignments! We have used several other tools but this has everything a dyslexia person needs all in one bundle! The upgrade is definitely worth it to make our daily struggles, on the computer, run much smoother. I also greatly appreciate customer support (helpdesk). They went above and beyond to make sure we were all set up on the computer for my son to most successful.
