When I’m finished annotating, I add the keyword RFP (ready for processing) to the manuscript in the Bookend database. I use blue to highlight quotes I wish to use verbatim. On my first pass through an article, using Bookend's built-in tools, I highlight annotations and jot notes in green. My current preference is reading PDFs on a 12.9" iPad Pro along with an Apple Pencil. ![]() Bookends outshines Papers in its built-in annotation tools as well as its seamless syncing between iOS and Mac. But more importantly Devonthink finds related content based on the context of my original query.After importing a manuscript into Bookends, the document becomes available on all my devices. Through its "see also" feature, Devonthink can identify information I’m looking for. In addition, after highlighting, I’ve been extracting the entire manuscripts in 1-4 paragraph pieces.The whole purpose of extracting annotations and full text from each manuscript is to gain granular access to the information I’ve read. I now use the combination of Bookends and Highlights.app to extract each of my annotations and notes as separate files. I am now finding the majority of information through qxMD Read.My workflow for extraction of annotations differs a bit from when I was using Papers. Despite this change, my method of information gathering has changed little since I covered the topic, except for one major addition. ![]() Bookends has completely replaced Papers.app as my citation manager.
