Higliths sync Between Server and my ubuntu application

Steoh59160 · 01-01-2026, 07:24 PM

Hello Everyone,

I have calibre installed on ubuntu.
I start higlithing a book in the viewer on my ubuntu session.
Then i tried to add others hilights on the server (I add authentification).
I doesnt sync. On each side i have my hilights but i doesn't merge.

I noticed on my ubuntu calibre app tha i can do a right click on the book and "browse hilights" and here I can see both Hilights.

Could you please help me to syncback the hilights done on the viewer on the server to my ubuntu app and library?

Thanks

In the miscellaneous section of the viewer preferences you need to specify the username of the content server user you want to sync with.
