How to automatically show notes (popup) for a webpage?
You can configure Page Notes to automatically show notes for a web page by changing “Automatically show notes pop-up” setting under ‘Advanced Settings’. There are 3 possible values of this setting:

- Notes popup is not shown.

How to enable dark mode icon
Extension will automatically switch to dark mode icons if you change OS settings to dark mode. You can change this behavior by changing the ‘Use dark mode icons’ setting:
- Auto (default)
- Automatically choose between dark and light mode icons based on the OS settings. Note that browser level theme change doesn’t trigger this change.
- Always
- Always use dark mode icons.
- Never
- Never use dark mode icons.
What Are Site-Level Notes?
Site-level notes are applied to all pages with the same hostname. For example, if you add a site-level note for github.com, that note will apply to all pages on github.com, including https://github.com/manugarg/pagenotes-issues, for example. If a page has both page-level and site-level notes, the page-level notes take priority.
You can mark a note as site-level when you edit it. You can also change the default setting through the options page.
Can I add a keyboard shortcut to open the notes
Yes, it’s a built-in feature in chrome. Visit chrome://extensions/shortcuts to create a shortcut for any extension. For example I use ^(Ctrl) + ⌘ (Cmd) + P (on Mac) for Page Notes.
Backup and Restore Notes
You can back up your page notes from the options page. The backup is saved to disk in CSV format. You can also restore notes from a backup from the same, options, page.
Can I disable icon animation and badge
Yes, you can easily disable icon animation and ‘blue’ badge from the options page.
