improved
π Optimised highlighting
Highlighting in the Document View is now more precise so you can highlight exactly what you want.
![Help Pages Animations (1)](https://canny.io/images/6d2de196d8fe972cfe44b691a8c4f725.gif)
- Feedback we got was that sometimes it was difficult to grab exactly the text one wanted to highlight. This should no longer be an issue!
- You can also copy text from the document.
π‘ Tip:
If the highlighting does not work try using OCR to get the text from the PDF. Click the button in the bottom left of the Document View (this will use OCR credits).![Screen Shot 2022-11-08 at 13](https://canny.io/images/a0fe855a6f645f0df1089c60872e4428.png)
Coming Soon:
We are making highlights permanent on the document. So you can see what you have already highlighted. In the colour of each concept (see: change concept colour).We are currently working on a Zotero integration! π For easy syncing with one of the most used reference managers. Let us know what your
must have features
are by commenting here: Zotero integrationWe got a lot of feedback around making the Excel export look more like the Project Table. It now does!
![Frame 4](https://canny.io/images/2751a6aa64583faeb9ebc6e39e1a4857.jpg)
There is an additional reference column next to each document. Clicking on a concept cell shows the snippet, page number, notes and flag colour (same as cell colour).
![Frame 5](https://canny.io/images/d0889016fa5545cf0151fdf8edfc26a1.jpg)
If you preferred the old export format organised by concept you can still use the CSVΒ export and convert this to Excel.
Flags just became more powerful! You can now see content you flagged in colour in both Word and Excel exports.
![export-flags](https://canny.io/images/89965addc6575a94f8023106d214a39d.jpg)
This helps you quickly differentiate and categorise snippets within concepts at a glance.
Coming soon:
we are planning to display flags in each cell in the Table View in colour. Stay tuned...The much awaited notes column is now available in all projects. Add notes to documents in the table and while reading!

Exports
Of course any notes you add also appear in the exports. So there is now a notes column in the Excel export and a notes section in the Word export.
Stay tuned as we will soon be updating the Excel export to a new format to more closely resemble the Table View!
