Introducing New Copy Features for Increased Efficiency
At Scrible, our commitment to improving your experience is deeply influenced by your feedback. Each suggestion you make plays a crucial role in shaping our tools and features, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of our community engaged in studying, teaching, researching, or crafting written content. This week, we're excited to roll out a new feature that streamlines your workflow and boosts efficiency based on your valuable insights.
Streamlined Copying for Comments and Paraphrases
We've recognized the need for greater flexibility in our platform and enhanced our copying functionality. Previously, while Scrible enabled users to copy the anchor from a comment or paraphrase, we saw an opportunity to expand this capability. Now, responding to your requests, you can copy the anchor and directly copy the comment or paraphrase from your documents.
How It Works:
Copying a Comment or Paraphrase:
- In your Scrible.com account, hover over your selected source to activate the options drawer on the right.
- Use the
icon to "Browse annotations." - Hover over the
icon to display the instruction, "Copy comment to clipboard." and click. - The comment is ready to paste wherever you want it.

Benefits of the New Features:
- Enhanced Collaboration: Students working on group projects can quickly share comments and paraphrases from their research with peers, ensuring everyone has access to the same information without needing cumbersome retyping or screenshots.
- Improved Research Papers: Students often need to cite multiple sources accurately when writing research papers. The ability to copy comments and paraphrases directly can help ensure citations are accurate and reflect the original text's context, reducing the risk of misquotation or plagiarism.
- Interactive Lesson Plans: Teachers can enhance lesson plans by sharing specific annotations of their sources directly into their teaching materials. For example, they could copy important historical facts or literary analyses to create enriched, interactive slideshows or handouts that engage students more deeply.
- Dynamic Reading Assignments: In assignments that require close reading, such as analyzing a complex text in an English class, students can copy their annotations and paraphrases into a reading log or a reflection journal. This process saves time and helps them organize their thoughts and prepare more effectively for class discussions.
