Your highlights come back
Updated Sep 15, 2026
Your highlights are saved to your dashboard and redrawn on the page right where you left them. When the page's wording changes and a highlight can't be placed, we mark it so you know, rather than putting it in the wrong spot.
To do this, the extension asks whether you have saved annotations for the exact address you're on. It keeps no history of the pages you visit, unless you turn on Share what you read, which keeps only articles, for 30 days. (With auto-detect on, it also notes paywall access for your subscriptions, storing only the site name; you can turn that off in Settings.)
