Before I commit my heart & soul to Diigo I'm trying to give each feature a thorough workout. One thing I can't seem to find any clear information on is whether the "Extract Highlights" feature can be limited to extracting only YOUR OWN highlights & comments. Various reviews I've read (and the help section here) seem to IMPLY that this is the way it works, but in my experience that's not the case. Am I doing something wrong?
(I'm also a bit baffled by the All / Private toggle on the Show Annotations toolbar menu, as it seems to have no effect -- Diigo isn't displaying ANY annotations until I click the toolbar button to open the bookmark window.)
Hi tomtullio:
Extract highlight feature:
You can extract your own highlights&sticky notes and others public comments.
Show Annotations menu: To filter annotations on any web page, you can use this menu.
For example, when there are too many annotations one popular web page and you feel it interfere your reading, you can show only your own(Private) annotations.
Joel,
Thanks for responding. I do know that these features exist, I'm just not sure that they're working properly for me. When the online help is updated, I hope there are more screenshots that show Diigo behavior in various scenarios.
I've now discovered the source of my confusion -- public PAGE COMMENTS appear to be included when "extracting highlights" but actual highlight comments and sticky notes ("Annotations") are not. The terminology doesn't seem to be very consistent or self-evident in places, I guess, but I've got it now. :-)
So is there any way to get Diigo to just extract your own comments, highlights, and notes? I really, really don't want to see anyone else's comments on my extraction. It would be great if we could customize what shows up when you extract highlights. Is this a feature that currently exists and we just can't find it? If it doesn't exist, is there any plan to introduce it?
Thanks,
Zoe
