Roam Highlighter Tutorial

Getting started

Great! You succesfully installed Roam Highlighter. Watch the tutorial video or follow the steps below to start highlighting.

1Open the extension

You can open the extension by clicking on the icon in the top right, or by setting yourself a shortcut. The extension is active, when you see the Roam Highlighter Widget in the bottom right.

Tip: Follow this guide for a step-by-step explanation on how to set an extension shortcut.

2Start highlighting

When the extension is open, you immediality highlight text by selecting it with your cursor. Text that is highlighted will have a yellow background color. Test it out on this page!

Tip: You don't need to be precise with your selection. The extension automatically extends the selection to include full words.

3Copy to Roam Research

In the highlight widget on the bottom right, you can always see the number of highlights and change the bookmark title. When you are finished, click on the button to copy all the highlights to your clipboard.

Tip: In the settings, you can adjust the format in which the highlights are copied to your clipboard. Add placeholders to automatically include metadata from the website.

That's it! I think from here you can savely explore the extension on your own. If you have feedback, you can send it to me here.
