Also note that highlights are URL based so that each page keeps its own highlights. Whenever the JSON object is imported, the highlighting database is appended to the session database which means the extension restores both the new and old highlights for all the documents. However, if you have an important document that the highlights are needed, you can go to the options page and export the highlights as a JSON object. Note that since highlighting requires too much storage, hence this extension at the current state does not support persistent highlighting. If you don't need the highlights after a page refresh, you can disable the caching on the options page of the extension. This is useful to temporarily mark some part of a document for later access.

These highlights are semi-persistent meaning that if you reload the page your highlights are restored however if the browser restarts, then the highlights are gone.
