Every key point carries a numbered citation chip.\n- Chat with documents: answers stream in live, grounded in the open document, with citations back to the supporting passage. Clicking a citation scrolls the source into view and highlights it.\n- Explain and glossary: explain difficult passages at different reading levels and build a one-tap glossary of jargon.\n- Collections: group documents and run summaries, chat, and glossaries across the whole set. Answers cite which document said what.\n\nSupported sources: web articles, PDFs including scanned files with built-in OCR, Confluence wikis, Notion pages, Google Docs, SharePoint and OneDrive files via Microsoft Graph, Gmail attachments, arXiv papers, Slack canvases, and direct uploads of Word and PowerPoint files.\n\nIntegrations: Google Drive and Google Docs, Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive, Confluence, Notion, Gmail, and Slack. The Slack app answers questions across a team's saved documents from inside Slack. Google Docs access is read-only.\n\nSecurity and privacy: data is hosted on UK-based servers with row-level security enforced at the database layer. Store mode retains documents for the life of the account; Discard mode purges document content within 24 hours. Shared links are static snapshots that can be revoked at any time.\n\nPlatforms and languages: Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions, plus a web viewer and Slack integration. The interface supports 17 languages. Cached documents reopen without consuming additional quota.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/4da205c3-2545-4b7a-831f-fae5323f5efa.jpeg","url":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2143153/sidenote","@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2143153/sidenote#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/#organization"},"offers":{"price":"0","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"GBP"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2143153/sidenote#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Productivity Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/330/productivity/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Sidenote","position":3,"item":"/software/2143153/sidenote","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
