Save annotations to a file in ebook viewer, then view these annotations in the browse

Sys_eng · 11-10-2023, 02:33 PM

Can someone, please, help me undestnad how to save annotations on a device, and view them using content server on another device.

I came across this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=338814
In which Kovid said, "you tell the calibre viewer which username on the server to sync with, look in the miscellaneous section of the viewer preferences."

i can see in the setting that Kovid refers to (in the screenshot), but I am not sure which user I should specify here as I have not set up any users in the first place. This is what confuses me.
Your help would be highly apreciated.

Update: I managed to create an account and add it to the E-book viewer.
I started to see the annotations created on a file on the web syncing back to Calibre locally; however, the annotations created on a file on Calibre locally do not sync back when I open the same file on the web.

I got help on this and now I understand how it works.

I did not notice before the "sync" button in the E-book viewer on the web. On the app, there is no sync button. There is however, a "reload" button.
Hitting the "sync" button, and then the "reload" button helped to achieve the expected behavior.
