Adding Abstracts and Tables of Contents
Write an abstract to summarize the main contents of a text. For book sources, the table of contents can be a good source of additional information about the book's contents. You can also add ratings and your own notes.

Switch to the Contents tab. |

Abstracts come from many different sources. Many research databases include the abstract. However, you can also write an abstract yourself or search for one online. |

To add an abstract from a webpage, use the Picker. |

Some databases include tables of contents, either as a PDF file or as a webpage. If you want to add this information, open the PDF or webpage in the preview pane. Select the text of the table of contents and then click More > Table of contents. |
Hint
Often you may need to fix text copied from PDFs, since line breaks cannot be correctly copied. To easily remove these unwanted line breaks press F9. On the Format menu, click Remove paragraphs and tabs.
