- **Collections** — Topic folders that group related highlights; Ableten can suggest a collection when you save.
- **Source Library** — The web app (`app.ableten.xyz`) where highlights, collections, and original notes live.
- **Original notes** — Your own ideas captured in the Source Library (not tied to a web URL).
- **Chrome extension** — Highlight while browsing: select text, copy to open the note widget, save with a note.
