Mark articles for later reading...
This chrome extension helps you to keep track of articles that you may want to read later but find them not that important to be bookmarked.
- To save a particular article, click the extension button when the tab having the article is selected, and click "Add Articles" button. In the dialog box that appears, the current title is loaded into the input box. Modify the title as needed and click on "Save Articles" button.
- To delete all the articles, click on "Clear" button.
- To delete a particular article, click on the "x" button corresponding to that article (i.e present beside that article).
- To export the current list of articles, click on "More Options" and click on the "Export/Import" button there. In the dialog box that appears, click on "Export" button. The list of articles (if there are any) are exported to a folder named "Extension: Mark-It" in the "Other Bookmarks" folder. If there already exists such a folder, then the folder is overwritten with the new articles.
- To import articles from the bookmarks folder ("Extension: Mark-It" folder), click on "More Options" and click on the "Export/Import" button there. In the dialog box that appears, click on "Import" button. If there exists a folder named "Extension: Mark-It" in the "Other Bookmarks" folder, then the current list of articles is overwritten with that list of articles. Otherwise nothing is done.
