OldDog 2 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hopefully I'm posting in the right location - didn't see a 'feature request' area... One feature that I miss within Evernote is for the read position within long articles to be saved. Call it bookmarking within a note or saved location. It could also be 3rd party, just as long as this feature worked. I currently use Instapaper for long articles I want to read offline - I tried using Evernote but found this single feature missing.

Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted February 10, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes, this is essentially the same as HTML anchors, and it's been requested before (here's one instance: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/22876-using-anchors-within-notes-hyperlinking-between-notes/, located by searching the forums for "note anchor bookmark"; there are others). About the best you can do is to insert unique text "anchors", and use the in-note search (not available on all clients, but is in the desktop clients for sure) to jump to them. And of course this gives you nothing to click on to do the jump automatically. Note: at least once I've come across a claim that HTML anchors do work, if you have them in your source, but I was unable to verify this. I'll try to locate the reference. Edit: I think that the topic I was thinking of is here: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/42276-function-request-copy-note-link-anchor/ Link to comment
Frank.dg 1,385 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 One possibility, if you're on Evernote Mac, would be to save (annotate) the note as a PDF... Then you can use Adobe Acrobat to bookmark. Just maybe... Link to comment
jjmitch 1 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Being unable to bookmark is truly a major problem for me. I am working on a long journal, and find it extremely frustrating to be taken to the beginning of the journal each time I open the document. I am currently a trial subscriber evaluating the the program to warrant going premium. This particular inability in the software is definitely holding me back from proceeding forward. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted February 12, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 12, 2015 Is it necessary for your journal material to be all in one note? How about one entry per note? Link to comment
jjmitch 1 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thank you, hadn't thought of making separate notes and yes this would work, although a bit cumbersome, as I must review and compare each daily entry. But thanks so much for the tip Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted February 12, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 12, 2015 You're welcome -- just tossing out ideas in the absence of being able to fix it ourselves!! Link to comment
