If you have uploaded PDF files into your new RefWorks account, you can read and annotate them right inside of RefWorks. If you have shared these resources with others, they will see your notes.
Select the reference you want to read and click the "Read" button in the viewing pane. The full document or article will open for you to read and annotate. If the item does not contain a document, the reference metadata will display.
You have several options, all of which can be found on the tool bar on the top of the page:
Once you have selected a document to read, you can annotate it by clicking the Document Notes icon from the reader menu and entering your notes. Any note you type is automatically saved.
If you want to highlight text, select the text using the Highlight Selected Text icon and select the words of text by clicking and dragging through the lines of text.
To remove highlighting, click the highlighted area until the delete option displays. Click "Delete Conversation".
You may also click and drag using the Comment icon to highlight the text and make a comment on it.
Click on the three dots at the far right to change the color of your note, change the color of the highlighted text, edit your note, or delete your note altogether.
