💡 Notes are especially useful to your future self. Perhaps late one night you’re reading away, and connect the dots between two things that just… don’t seem connected. What?! Global warming is a direct effect of the shrinking number of pirates since the 1800s? Such a note may be most useful when handing in your statistics paper, to highlight the difference between correlation and causation.

💡You can seamlessly add notes whilst reading your flashcards, without losing your place! This is handy for readers that can get distracted switching between notetaking and reading in different windows.

‍

[.number-box-cms]2[.number-box-cms][.text-col-1]Finally, one handy feature of notes is they’re searchable! Down the road, if you can’t quite remember that thing about global warming and pirates, you can do a keyword search to uncover it. Any articles that match that keyword will appear ready for you to dive back in! You can filter which flashcard sections to search within to make it easy to narrow down the exact article you want.[.text-col-1]

💡 You can also add annotations and highlights to flashcards. See the Supercharge your reading page for more information.

💡 Your notes will be included when you export your flashcards.
