Highlights and notes: common questions

Can Readify help me understand what I read?

Yes. Readify supports active reading by helping you save highlights, add notes, and return to the passages that explain the main idea.

What should I highlight when reading?

Highlight claims, definitions, examples, evidence, questions, and lines that change your understanding of the text.

How do notes improve reading comprehension?

Notes ask you to restate the idea in your own words, which makes it easier to remember, review, and apply what you read.

Can I use highlights and notes with PDFs, EPUBs, and web pages?

Readify is designed for bringing your own reading into one place, including PDFs, EPUBs, documents, TXT files, academic papers, and web pages.

Do highlights help when I come back later?

Yes. A saved highlight acts like a signpost, and a connected note gives you the context you need to pick up the idea again.

Is this useful for students and knowledge workers?

Yes. Highlights and notes are useful for study, research, work documents, meeting preparation, writing, and any reading that needs follow-through.
