Why are my notes made on the Inkling platform outside of my eBook?
Last updated on April 01, 2026
Your notes from the Inkling platform have been transferred to Elsevier eBooks+, but they are stored alongside your eBook rather than on the pages of the book itself. Nothing has been lost — the notes simply sit in a separate place.
Where do I find my transferred notes?
Open your library on the web version of Elsevier eBooks+ and select the Notes link next to the relevant title. Your transferred notes are grouped with that eBook's additional content and are organised by:
- Book title
- Chapter number
You can also search your notes by keyword to find a specific note quickly.
Why aren't they on the book pages?
The two platforms anchor notes differently, so we could not re-attach each Inkling note to the exact passage it was made against. To make sure no note was lost in the move, they were transferred as a separate, searchable set instead.
Do new notes behave the same way?
No. Notes you create on Elsevier eBooks+ using Notes and Highlights are attached to the text in the book, exactly where you make them. See How do I take notes on the new Elsevier eBooks+ platform?
