Highlights, notes and bookmarks
Marks are how you keep track of what you've read and what needs another pass. They're kept in Folio's own folder, never in your documents, and they follow the text when a document is edited.
Highlights and notes
- Select text in a document.
- Pick one of four colours from the toolbar above the selection, or choose Add note to highlight it and write a note.
- Click a highlight later to change its colour, edit its note or remove it.
⇧⌘H / Ctrl+Shift+H highlights the selection in the last colour used.
To note a whole section (a paragraph, list item, table or code block), hover it and click the note button in the margin.
A note on the whole document
The note button in the header, beside the bookmark, opens a note on the document as a whole: an overall comment and a status to ask for, such as accepted or rejected.
Bookmarks
Bookmark the open document with the header's bookmark button (⌘D / Ctrl+D), or a section with the button beside a heading on hover.
The Marks view
The sidebar's Marks tab lists the marks of every document in the workspace, grouped by document. Filter it to bookmarks, or highlights and notes, or by note state. Only the open document narrows it to the document you're reading.
When documents move
A document moved or renamed without edits keeps its marks. Otherwise its marks are listed under Missing documents in the Marks view, where you can move them to another document or delete them. Nothing is deleted on its own.
After you switch git branches, a document that exists only on another branch is listed under On other branches instead, with the branch's name. Its marks stay as they are, and they're back when you switch back.
