- Click on the extension button in your browser (a small red highlighter)
- Click on the text that you selected and a small tooltip with highlighter color options will appear. Highlight the text as you see fit!

Use the following hightlighting scheme to mark-up articles:
- Red = clearly biased text/opinionated text
- Yellow = context on a topic that may be factual but has been conveniently chosen to surround a subject
- Green = clearly factual/unbiased text. Essentially the reason the article was written.
-
This extension currently does not support un-highlighting text (it screws up our database). While you are marking up articles, please make sure you don't accidentally highlight text that shouldn't be highlighted.
