✍️ Marginal note taking on your books in Saalik!
17 October 2026
You can now write in the margins of your PDFs. Choose the new Margin note tool, click anywhere in a margin, the header or the footer, and start typing — the way scholars wrote ḥawāshī beside the text. • Write in English or Arabic. Start typing in Arabic and the note turns right-to-left on its own. • Notes sit at a slant and fill the margin from edge to edge, like a gloss in a manuscript. Set the tilt once and that margin keeps it on every page. • Notes go only in the margins, header and footer, so the text stays clear. Start a note above an older one and the older one slides down to make room — or drag notes wherever you want them. • Find any note again: search inside the book, or from the main search box. It opens the right book at the right page and points the note out. Vowel marks don't matter, so عثمان finds عُثمان. Look for the tilted T in the PDF toolbar.
