The highlighting and note-taking tools in your webtext can help you stay organized and focus on key points as you read.

When you select a portion of text, a menu will appear. From there, you can highlight the text, copy it, or add a note.

After you’ve selected your desired text, choose a color from the menu to highlight it.

If you’d like to change or remove a highlight, click the highlighted text, then select a new color from the menu or click the X to remove the highlight.

The Copy Text button allows you to copy the selected text to your clipboard. After clicking Copy Text, the text will be ready to paste wherever you need it. For more on copying and pasting text, visit our article, How do I copy and paste?

To make a note, click Add Note after selecting your text. A box will appear where you can add your note and select a highlight color if you’d like. After typing your note, click Save.

Your notes will appear in the right margin of the webtext, marked with a yellow line along with your name. If your instructor shares notes with you, their note will appear in the margin, marked with a magenta line and labeled with their name followed by “(instructor).”

To make changes to one of your notes, click it and then select Edit. To add a note to highlighted text, click the highlighted section and choose Add Note.

To view all your highlights and notes in one place, open the Tools Menu in the upper right corner of your webtext and select My Notes.

To view your notes in the Soomo app, tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu and then tap My Notes.

On the My Notes page, your highlights and notes are organized by chapter and page. You can expand or collapse chapters using the arrow next to the chapter name. To revisit a specific page, click the page title or use the three-dot menu beside the note.

Notes that your instructor has shared with you will also appear in My Notes. Just like instructor notes on a webtext page, they’ll be marked with a magenta line and labeled with their name followed by “(instructor).”

You can also filter your notes using the drop-down menu at the top of the page to view all notes, only your own notes, or only notes your instructor has shared.

If you’d like to print your notes, access the My Notes page from a web browser, like Chrome or Safari. Use your browser’s print option (File > Print) or press Ctrl+P (Windows) or Command-P (Mac) on your keyboard to open your device’s print menu.
