Feature request: Grab board summary of highlighted text and associated comments

nebulloyd · March 29, 2022

I am trying to find a way to summarise all the annotations, highlights and tags on PDFs in my Zotero library. I'd like to be able to generate it regularly to update any new comments and highlighted text. Ideally this would be in the form of something like an excel spreadsheet. It would include a column with title of paper, DOI, bibtex key, separate columns for each tag, quote highlighted and a column for my comments on that highlighted section with enabled subsetting per collection/subcollection. Does anyone have a workflow like this? Or is this a feature coming to Zotero (this would be incredible!)? I apologise if I missed it but looking through discussion I haven't seen mention of this 'grab board' type summary approach which is extremely useful for writing.

I have since created a mock up of what this could look like. Currently it exports to an xlsx file but ideally it would end up in a window within zotero. Link to the project is here https://github.com/NLJames/ZotBoard
