Here is a possible use case:

  • highlight text
  • assign a label
  • then search by labels that would include not only full pdfs but highlighted excerpts from texts too

Thanks for bringing this up. We are working on a completely new note taking system. Adding labels to notes will be a feature. The new system will also integrate ā€œstandaloneā€ notes and PDF highlights. So if you mean highlighting text in PDFs and adding labels to that, that is definitely coming.

This is great news. Thanks a lot! I for example use NVivo only for lit review and labeling/tag nesting within the text. Your change could definitely be a substitute for that !!

hi! I love paperpile. especially the look and feel of it. but for academic work and my dissertation I rely on citavis ā€˜knowledge managementā€™ system to organize notes, highlights and pdfs. Iā€™m looking forward for the overhaul of paperpiles note keeping system and hope it will allow me to switch permanently.
