annotating on PDFs? heres how to do it on Notes+ 😻🌼

4/14 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're new to annotating PDFs on Notes+, here are some extra tips that boosted my productivity: First, I started by importing my psychology textbook PDF directly into Notes+. You can import files from Google Drive, Dropbox, or even scan documents right into the app. This made accessing all my study materials easier in one place. I love using the highlighter tool to mark key concepts, like developmental stages in psychology. Highlighting in different colors helped me visually separate important points—like prenatal, infancy, and adolescence stages—which are critical in developmental psychology. The margin extension feature was a game-changer. It gave me extra space on the sides of pages where I could write quick summaries or add extra details without cluttering the main text. This made my notes more organized. Whenever I came across difficult concepts, I used the comment tool to jot down questions or explanations, making it easier to review later or ask my classmates. Another useful habit was exporting annotated PDFs to share with my study group, so we could collaborate on understanding complex topics. Finally, syncing Notes+ with iCloud ensured my notes were always backed up and accessible across devices, which saved me from losing hours of work. These steps helped me make the most out of digital note-taking and made reviewing for exams way more efficient and even enjoyable!
