Hi, In the initial post you mentionned that "For example, you can search for all annotations in a collection with a given tag and then create a note from those annotations or copy them to an external text editor with Quick Copy."
However, even if i selected the annotation with the desired tag, I can't copy/paste them. Neither in an independent note or a word doc.
Is there a more efficient way to select all the highlited text with the same tag from different paper ?
@Julierocheleau: Filter by the annotation tag, click in the items list, Select All, right-click → Create Note from Annotations or drag to external editor.
Thanks for your answer. I manage to find that, in order to copy/paste to work, you need to remain in the main window and not de advance search pop up window !
@Julierocheleau: If you construct a search in the Advanced Search window, you can do a Select All there and then press Enter to select those same items in the main window.
Maybe a stupid question. But I can't find where to add tags in the Beta version. Is it in the reader or on the note from the library view? Do I just drag and drop the tag from the tag menu?
Thank you @dstillman for this much needed upgrade. It is still not clear to me how to isolate the annotations with a certain tag, when there are hundreds of annotations under a single item. It would be important to be able to see ONLY the annotatons with that tag. Am I missing something? Or this possibility has not been implemented yet? In this case, is there a workaround to get a similar result?
@if87: Only the matching annotations will be black. The others would be gray. A Select All will also select only the matching rows.
This is how Zotero search has always worked, but we know it can still be awkward with a large number of annotations, and in an upcoming version we plan to provide a way to hide the gray context rows when performing searches.
