Description
Note Enhancements Plugin
Category: Note Enhancements
The Sidebar Highlights plugin enhances note-taking by providing a sidebar to view and manage text highlights and comments across your vault. It supports creating highlights with color coding using ==highlight== syntax and native comments with %%comment%%. The sidebar organizes these elements by file, collection, tags, or color, making it easier to navigate and filter key insights. Users can create collections for cross-file highlights, quickly jump to specific highlights, and group them dynamically. It also integrates footnote-based comments for in-line annotations and offers commands for managing collections efficiently.
