How to bookmark articles in Keenious
Adding bookmarks is simple within the Keenious tool on any platform - Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or the website!
1. Make sure you're logged in
Bookmarks are saved to your account, so you can log in on a different device and see your list.
2. Find an article you like!
Once you've found an article you want to keep, click on the star symbol beside the title. It will turn golden ⭐️ when the article is bookmarked.
3. Check your bookmarks
To see the list of articles relevant to your text that you have bookmarked, click on the 'Bookmarks' filter.
4. Un-bookmarking an article
Just as easy as the bookmarking process, click on the now golden star to un-bookmark it, and return it to a plain pale colour.
Understanding Bookmarks in Keenious
The bookmarks feature in Keenious can sometimes be a bit tricky to interpret due to its design as an integrated rather than a standalone feature. Here's a detailed explanation to help you understand how it works.
How Bookmarks Function
Bookmarks as Filters:
When you bookmark an article, it essentially tags the article with a 'bookmark' tag.
Viewing your list of bookmarks is similar to performing a search for articles tagged with 'bookmark'.
As with any search, only articles that meet a minimum relevance threshold to your current text will be displayed.
Relevance-Based Display:
If you switch from one topic to another (e.g., from astro-physics to the biology of an octopus), you may notice that some bookmarks seem to disappear. This happens because the relevance between the new text and the old bookmarks is too low.
Using Bookmarks in Different Versions
Web Version vs. Microsoft Word & Google Docs:
Both the web version and the add-in allow you to filter for bookmarks in the same way.
There is no dedicated page for all your bookmarks in Keenious. For better management of extensive lists of sources, we recommend exporting articles to a reference manager tool.
Purpose of Bookmarks:
It is to help you keep track of interesting articles you come across while researching using Keenious.
Future standalone Bookmarks Feature:
We are aware people would like a standalone bookmarks feature, which would allow users to view and filter the entire list of bookmarks. We hope to add this to the tool in the future!
