Open Annotations to see synced highlights and notes. Filter by book, source, style, or date; search the text; open the book context; and export a useful set before making major file or device changes.
Filter before searching
Start with a book or source filter, then search for a phrase. Device source helps explain why an annotation may behave differently. Reading-order sorting is better for reviewing a whole book than creation-date sorting.
Keep notes attached to context
Open the per-book annotation view and inspect the passage, note, and location together. Correct a note without changing the quoted text. If a locator looks wrong after file replacement, preserve the text before attempting repair.
Export a portable copy
Choose Markdown for human-readable notes, CSV for sorting, or JSON for structured processing. Open the exported file and confirm title, author, passage, personal note, and location before treating it as a backup.
The details, at a glance.
| Consider | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Book filter | Review one title in reading order |
| Source filter | Separate web, Kobo, and KOReader |
| Search | Find words across annotations |
| Export | Markdown, CSV, or JSON |
A few things worth asking.
Does deleting a highlight delete the book text?
No. An annotation is separate reading data, but sync can propagate annotation deletions to supported devices.
Which export should I choose?
Markdown is easiest to read, CSV suits spreadsheets, and JSON preserves structured fields for another application.
