Highlights & notes

Highlights and notes are private — only you can see them, and they never appear on public share pages. You can also highlight right on YouTube from the browser extension — they sync both ways.

Making a highlight

Select some text with your mouse — in the video summary, the section summaries, or the transcript at the bottom of the analysis page. A small toolbar pops up:

  • Click a colour → highlight it.
  • Click the pencil → highlight it and write a note straight away.

Keep the selection within a single passage — selections spanning separate passages won't bring up the toolbar.

The four colours

Colours double as categories, and you can filter the panel by colour:

| Colour | Suggested use | |---|---| | Yellow | Key point | | Green | Agree | | Blue | To verify | | Red | Doubtful |

Editing and deleting

Click any highlighted text to open a small popover where you can edit the note, change the colour, or delete it. Highlights that carry a note get a dotted underline, so you can spot at a glance where you've said something; hover over one to see the note right there, without clicking in.

The Highlights & notes panel

The Highlights & notes panel on the analysis page collects your highlights for that video, ordered by video time:

  • Each one carries a timestamp — click it to jump to that moment in the video.
  • Notes can be edited right in the panel.
  • Filter by colour from the top-right.
  • Each entry shows where it came from (transcript / video summary / section summaries).

What "Text changed" means

The transcript never changes, so highlights on it always stay exactly where you put them. But the summary and sections can be edited and regenerated — if you highlight something and later rewrite or regenerate that passage, the sentence you highlighted may no longer exist.

When that happens the highlight is flagged "Text changed" in the panel: it no longer appears inline, but the quote and your note are both kept — nothing disappears silently. You can delete it once you've read it, or keep it as a record of the older version.
