We rolled out another update for Zoho Notebook. Some of the highlights include…
- Support for more shapes in the drawing toolbar
- Integration with Zoho Show
- Enhanced Firefox plug-in to capture screenshots
- Previous & Next buttons for published notebooks
Apart from these features, lot of effort went into the back-end optimization and collaboration in Notebook. Let us look at each of these new features.
More Shapes:
At the bottom of the drawing toolbar you’ll now see a new icon () clicking on which shows all the new shapes that are new added.
Once a shape is added, you can then choose to change the dimensions, fill color, border color etc from the options available in the toolbar ().
Zoho Show Integration:
We now have Zoho Show integrated into Zoho Notebook at the object level. You’ll see option on the left where you can select the presentation you have in Zoho Show and embed that directly in Notebook.
Firefox plug-in:
Two new options are added to Notebook’s Firefox plugin.
- Snap Page to Zoho Notebook
- Snap Region to Zoho Notebook
These two options will let you take snapshots of web page or part of a web page to your notebook. The snapshot will be available as an image and will automatically be uploaded and inserted in the open page in notebook. For these features to work, you’ll have to be logged into Notebook.
When you click on ‘Snap Region to Zoho Notebook’, you’ll see a small rectangle appear on the page. Move and resize this rectangle to the area you want to take a snapshot of and click the camera icon () and give it a name for the snapshot to appear on your notebook page.
Next & Prev Buttons:
For better page navigation, we also added a small navigation strip () to move between pages. You can check this out in this public book.
Do give these new features and try and let us know your feedback. Also, if there is any other feature you’d like to see in notebook, please do let us know.

Hi Damian,
Thank you for your suggestion. We are working on the bookmarklet version, you had mentioned. This will be available in another couple of weeks.
thanks,

Why not make a simple javascript bookmarklet version of this, so that it is cross browser compatible? Other note apps offer this – check out Evernote’s approach – in most cases this is good enough, I don’t need an actual picture snapshot
Won’t let snap region or page, because it’s too big (more than 9mb) I clipped one paragraph of text, five lines long x 60 char wide. That’s about 300 characters in total. It doesn’t seem as big as 9mb.
Where is the camera icon?
