Add content! Add the +Paper.li bookmarklet to an iPad – Paper.li Support

The +Paper.li bookmarklet is a great way to add your favorite content - from anywhere on the web - to your Paper.li paper. Add the bookmarklet to your ipad for on-the-go content curation!

Once the bookmarklet is added to your bookmarks bar, you can add images, videos or an article to your paper. But how do you install the bookmarklet on your ipad? The "how to" is slightly different!

If you've set up your bookmarks to synch on iCloud, then you already have the bookmarklet installed! You can find it in the Bookmarks Bar folder (in some iOS versions, the Bookmarks Bar is called "favorites". In fact, if you have synched your bookmarks in the Cloud and your Bookmarks Bar is showing, you should see the +Paper.li Bookmarklet already!

If you've synched your bookmarks to your ipad but your Bookmarks Bar is not showing, you can either follow step (1) below to show the Bookmarks Bar -or- you can simply click on the +Paper.li Bookmarklet bookmark from the menu to activate the familiar bookmarklet overlay.

If your bookmarks are not synched to your browser, then follow these instructions to add the bookmarklet to your ipad.

Although the instructions have been written for an ipad, the steps are the same in principle, for a tablet. If your browser in your Android tablet does not support a Bookmarks Bar, simply skip step (1). Once you have added the +Paper.li bookmarklet in your bookmarks, you can use it to add content from any website with an article, video or image, by clicking on the +Paper.li bookmarklet from your browser's bookmark menu.
