Read and annotate
Read PDFs, inspect figures, and keep highlights and comments.
Open a PDF from your library to read it alongside chat. Use the viewer's page and zoom controls and Find to locate text.
Select a passage
Select text to open the floating toolbar. Choose Chat to include the passage in a question, Highlight to save it, or Comment to attach a note to the highlight. Use Explain for a focused explanation of selected text in a PDF or chat answer.
Click a highlight to review or change it. The Annotations tab lists highlights and comments; choose one to return to its passage.
Read figures and scanned pages
Ask Anara about a specific figure or page when the information is visual. Check axes, units, legends, and numerical values against the original. A text search alone does not establish what a figure shows. See OCR and processing.
File details
Open Details for metadata, the abstract, an AI summary, and citation information. Edit incorrect fields where the interface allows it. A summary is a starting point for reading, not a substitute for the source.
Compare sources
Open files in separate tabs and arrange them side by side. Ask chat to compare their methods or conclusions, with citations to both.
Download annotations
Open the PDF menu and choose Download with annotations to keep a copy containing your highlights and comments. The option appears when annotations exist. See export.
If Anara cannot find content you can see in the file, check Full text and the processing guidance.
