Using the Universe extension to save information

PreviousBuilding blocks and your libraryNextSearching the Universe

Last updated 8 months ago

The Universe Extension is an extremely powerful tool to populate and link your Universe with documents, highlights, entities, images, and studies.

Feature 1: Creating Highlights

Select the text to be highlighted, then click the yellow marker with a blue + sign in the plugin menu to save the highlight with the document.

Tip! You can also highlight text in PDF documents opened in your browser by right-clicking after selecting the text.

Feature 2: Create and link documents to entities

Creating an entity is easy - select it from the text and click the purple link button.

If you have already created an entity and want to add a document along with its highlights to that entity, you can use the purple link button without selecting any text. This will open the plugin menu, where you can search for the desired entity and link the document to it.

Tip! By connecting highlighted documents to entities you feed the AI with high-quality human curated information to generate a report.

Feature 3: Saving images

To save an image, right-click on it and select "Save Image." The image will be saved to your Universe.

Feature 4: Add documents to Inbox

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you don't have enough time to make highlights or are uncertain about closing a tab, you can save the documents to your Inbox. This way, you can easily access all the saved documents in one place. Your Inbox will also allow you to reopen any closed webpages you may need later.

Documents with no highlights or links to entities or studies will not be visible in the documents list, they are only visible in your inbox. You’ll need to link the documents to ensure they are in the documents library.

Feature 5: Creating studies

You can easily create studies from the plugin. Just click the link button and give your study a title. The document will be linked to your study as soon as it's created.
