Realize Reader Annotations and Highlights

You can highlight and annotate content, such as questions, key concepts, and data points during your close reading exercises. Select a word, sentence, paragraph, image, glossary term, or hyperlink, and then choose from a variety of highlighting styles and colors.

You can also export your highlights to your desktop using the Export Highlights feature in the Settings menu. Exporting your highlights will give you an editable file that you can use outside of Realize Reader.
