Highlighting and annotating

Annotations cannot be added directly to book text in Ovid. However, if you've created a personal account on Ovid, you are able to add annotations to chapters by saving them to a project.

Choose the Add to My Projects link on the right above the chapter title, and either add to an existing project or create a new one. View the project by choosing My Workspace in the bar at the top of the screen and selecting your project from the list on the left side. You can then add annotations to each chapter in the project by choosing the Annotate link underneath the chapter listing.
