Sorry that my first explanation was not clear. The attached images should help. The extracted annotations on Futrell 2006 exemplify the old model, and the extracted annotations on Dahir 2024 exemplify the new model.

My issue is with how margin comments are extracted. For absolute clarity, margin comments are the notes I make on pdfs in my own words. I insert them by clicking the post-it note symbol and typing my thoughts therein. These notes appear in the pdf itself as a yellow post-it. When I click on the post-it, my own notes appear.

When my margin comments on the pdf are extracted as annotations by Zotero these used to be formatted in italics with a helpful citation '(note on p.277)' in brackets following it. For example in my margin comment on Futrell 2006, the extracted annotation looks as follows:

*IN ITALICS* definition of music scence - potentially useful (note on p.277)

However, the extract annotations feature has changed. Now my own margin comments are not in italics and not given the citation of 'note'. Instead they are given the following formatting:

*NOT IN ITALICS* (Dahir, 2024, p. 1610) do you think that if there wasnt this lack in the physical space, the women would have created that space?

You can see in the attached how the old version is far preferable. My own margin comments are clearly distinguishable from the sections of the article I have highlighted - which in the attached images are above my margin comments.


I have tried to upload the screenshots of both new and old versions below.
