Exporting
How do I export my highlights to my note-taking app such as Notion, Obsidian, Roam Research, Logseq, Evernote, etc?
Reader is innately connected to Readwise so every highlight you make in Reader will instantly sync with Readwise and then from Readwise to your note-taking apps. Over time, we intend to create a unified experience within Reader.
Can I export all of the highlights from a document at once?
To copy or download all of a document’s highlights, go into the Notebook tab of the right sidebar and click Export at the very bottom.
- Copy to clipboard: Copies all of the notes and highlights as plain text for you to paste into any text editing app. (
Shift + Option + C) - Download annotations: Downloads the document’s notes and highlights as a markdown file. (
Shift + Option + D) - Edit export file: Opens the export template for the markdown template. This is editable and uses the Jinja2 templating language. (If you’ve ever customized an export from Readwise to a note-taking app like Obsidian or LogSeq, this should be familiar!)
For now, these export options are only available on web, but it’s on our roadmap to add similar options for mobile.
