Highlights
Mark passages as you read
Select text in any saved article, pick a colour or add a comment. Highlights are collected in one place, and briefings read your highlights instead of the full text.
In short
Select a passage in a saved article, pick a colour or add a comment — highlights are collected in one place and briefings read them instead of the full text.

FAQ
How do I highlight?
Select text in a saved article; a small toolbar offers five colours and a comment. The highlight shows next to the article and on the Highlights page.
Do highlights feed briefings?
Yes. When a briefing is built from your saved articles, an article's highlights are used instead of its full text — the briefing reads what you marked.
Can I add a note to a highlight?
Yes — every highlight can carry a comment.
