Add Content

The Add Content feature lets you bring material into your Web Highlights library without visiting it in the browser first. Use it for your own notes, prompts, reference texts, or any URL you want to save and annotate.

Plan requirement

Add Content is available on the Ultimate plan. Check Settings → Plan or Pricing for your account.

Opening the dialog

Click the Add Content button (➕) in the top area of the web app. The dialog opens with two tabs: Text and URL.

Text — paste your own content

Use the Text tab when you want to add content that doesn't live on a webpage — your own notes, prompts, templates, or any text you want to keep in your library.

  1. Open the Add Content dialog.
  2. Make sure the Text tab is selected (it is the default).
  3. Paste or type your content into the editor.
  4. Click Create.
Add Content dialog with the Text tab active and content pasted in
Paste your own text — prompts, notes, templates — directly into the editor

Web Highlights creates a new page from your text. The first line becomes the title, and the remaining text becomes the description and page body. The page opens in the Reader tab, where you can:

Page created from pasted text, shown in the Reader tab
Your text becomes a full page — ready to highlight, tag, and export

The page behaves exactly like any page you highlighted with the extension — it shows up in your grid, is searchable, and syncs across devices.

URL — import a webpage

Use the URL tab when you find an article, blog post, or any webpage you want in your library without opening it in the extension.

  1. Open the Add Content dialog.
  2. Switch to the URL tab.
  3. Paste the full URL of the page.
  4. Click Search — Web Highlights fetches the page title, description, and preview image.
  5. Edit the title or other details if needed.
  6. Click Create.
Add Content dialog with URL tab showing a fetched page preview
Paste a URL and Web Highlights fetches the page title, image, and content automatically

The page content is fetched and stored in your library. You can highlight and annotate it in the Reader tab, just like a text import.

Duplicate detection

If you import a URL that already exists in your library, Web Highlights opens the existing page instead of creating a duplicate.

Use cases

  • Reference material — Import a URL to an article you want to read and annotate later.
  • Snippets and templates — Store reusable text (email templates, code snippets) as highlightable pages.
