Have you ever wondered how you could create multiple highlights on any web page and access them later at the next visit or share their Links with your friends and team members. Well, ‘Save Link to Highlight’, a Google Chrome Extension offered by Copylink.to does exactly the same.
In this article we will be detailing the steps for the above as well as some handy additional features that are offered by ‘Save Link to Highlight’.
1. Navigate to ‘Save Link to Highlight’ Extension using the link that we have provided and download and install it.

7. To Export your page highlights along with the base URL in a plain text bulleted form, click on the ‘Export Texts’ button and then click on ‘Copy’. You can now paste them in your Documents, Blogs, Emails and more.
8. To view all the Highlights in the current webpage, click on the ‘Links’ tab in the Extension. By default, only one Highlight from the page will be displayed. You can click on ‘Show more highlights’ to display all the highlights from the present webpage. Additionally, you can use the drop-down at the top right to change the sorting order of the Highlights.
9. By default, only the Highlights from the current webpage will be displayed in the Extension window. You can click on the drop-down at the top (see attached screenshot) and select the webpage whose Highlights you wish to display.
