Set up your categories early

Try to set your categories up as soon as possible to avoid confusion.   Change the labels, colors, and font settings good and early so you start associating a look with a category (especially if you are using it to distinguish courses).   You will tend to categorize your annotations as you go, saving loads of time later.   Also, highlights and notes that have changed, deleted, or inactivated categories can drop into the "Default" category or be confused.   Best to set it up early.

Reduce space - hide the comment/note button

You can hide the comment/note button to reduce toolbar space, then either right-click your highlights to add comments or set the Highlight/Settings/Comment feature "on", which will cause enLighter to always prompt for comments after highlights are added.

Use category font settings

You may have overlooked the power of font size and style when setting up your categories.   You may like the conservative look of just using subtle color, but if it's impact or focus and emphasis you are after, try playing with size and style in the category settings.

Even quicker QuickSearch

If you find a word or phrase you want to search on a page, just select it and right-click and use the "QuickSearch" or "QuickSearch in New Window" options.
