How to use the Collabwriting extension
Topics and Snippets explained
Snippets are the core of Collabwriting - they can be anything from a highlight created on a webpage, a saved post from LinkedIn, or even a snapshot of a YouTube video.
Always locatable, always collaborative.
Topics are where you organize your snippets from different pages and sources, and they can further be organized into Clusters.
If you are researching the best Chrome extensions, you could find one mentioned in the New York Times, a newly launched one on TechCrunch, and one more suggested on the Forbes website. All those snippets you can organize in a single Topic, you might name “The best Chrome extensions of the year”
Create, add comments, and share your first Topic
The Collabwriting extension isn't just a place where you can save quick snippets, but also a place where you can create new topics, attach your own insights in the form of comments, and share them with members of your team.
Here's how to do it:
To create a new topic, click the + icon in the top right corner of the extension.
Then, select any piece of text on the webpage, and it will appear as a highlight in the extension. To create a new snippet, just press “Enter” or click the “Create” button.
To leave comments on your snippet, you just click the Comment button, add any text, link, or screenshot, and then press “Enter” or click the “Comment” button once again.
After your Topic is created, you can share it by first setting up the permissions and copying the link at the bottom of the sidebar.
The Collabwriting Dashboard
To go to your dashboard, where you can further organize your snippets and topics, simply click the button located at the bottom right of the extension.
Once you click it, your Dashboard with all the previously collected snippets will open.
