Synthesis Features

Copy Highlights

You can copy highlights to your device's clipboard, allowing you to more advanced synthesis in other tools that you may be using, such as: FigJam, Miro, Sheets, and more...

  • Highlights are copied with "table" formatting, meaning if you paste them into Miro, for example, and have them pasted into a table, or into separate sticky notes.
  1. Select the highlights in their group by checking the box next to each, or via the ⋯ and Select all.
  2. Click Copy highlights to copy them to your device's clipboard.
Re-group by

You can use the Re-group by feature to auto group your highlights by Participants or Tags.

  • This is a great choice if you are not sure where to start with grouping, or if you just want to simply group them by either option.
Please note that using this feature WILL reset groups and remove any previously created groups. So please be sure this is an action that you want to take.
Sort by

Sort your highlights by any of the options in the Sort by list.

  • This feature is for the highlights, not the groups.
