What You Can Annotate: Verses, Words, Surahs and Pages

Learn the four levels you can annotate and when to use each.

TL;DR

You can attach notes at four levels — verse, word, surah, or page — and each level opens its own canvas with its own separate notes and highlight. You pick the level by selecting the verse, word, surah title, or page you want to annotate.

You can attach notes at four different levels, each suited to a different kind of study. Choosing the right level keeps your work organised and easy to come back to.

  • Verse (ayah) — reflections, tafsir points, or questions on a single ayah.
  • Word — a meaning, root, or grammar note on one specific word.
  • Surah — a theme, summary, or overview for a whole surah, attached to the surah title.
  • Page — anything that applies to the whole page rather than one verse.

You choose the level by selecting the verse, word, surah title, or page you want to annotate. An infinite canvas opens for that exact spot, and each level keeps its own separate notes and its own highlight.

Use word-level notes for language study, and verse or surah-level notes for reflection and tafsir.
