Quick answer

Select text in a ChatGPT answer, click Highlight, choose a color, then click the saved highlight later to add an annotation. You can review all highlights in Highlight Manager, filter by color, and search across saved highlights.

01

Select the text you want to keep

Highlight the useful sentence, paragraph, checklist, or code explanation inside a ChatGPT answer. Use highlights for the parts you will actually need again, not the entire response.

02

Click Highlight and choose a color

After selecting text, click Highlight and choose a color. A single conversation can have multiple highlights in different colors, so you can separate decisions, ideas, risks, references, or follow-ups.

Click a highlight to add an annotation

When you click a saved highlight, you can add an annotation. Use annotations for why the text matters, what project it belongs to, or what action you want to take next.

Open Highlight Manager

Highlight Manager shows a list of saved highlights across your ChatGPT work. It is the place to review what you saved without reopening every conversation.

05

Filter by color or search highlights

Use color filters when you want one type of highlight, or search the highlight text and annotations when you remember a phrase but not the original conversation.

Highlight strategy

Treat highlights like saved context, not decoration.

Use a simple color system, such as yellow for useful ideas, green for decisions, red for risks, and purple for follow-ups.
Add annotations only when the reason is not obvious from the highlighted text.
Keep highlights short enough to scan in Highlight Manager.
Search saved highlights when you remember the exact answer but not the chat title.
