Upgrade Storageworkflow question
I use Zotero to actually read and make notes in scientific papers.
I want to be able to
- mark/highlight text in a PDF
- copy text to the notes of a Zotero entry
- categorize papers by adding keywords
I found a way to highlight but then the doc has to be saved somewhere else and is not updated within Zotero.
I guess I am missing something. Could you please point me to the right documentation?
Thanks for this great tool.
