How can I ignore certain parts of the URL while saving and accessing notes?

You can configure Page Notes to ignore certain parts of the URL, e.g. query parameters and hash, while saving and retrieving notes by changing the “Ignore in URL” setting in the options page. This setting has 3 possible values:

ValueDescription
Nothing (default)Use the full URL.
HashIgnore hash (e.g. https://example.com/page#section -> https://example.com/page).
Query parameters & hashUse the URL without query parameters and hash (e.g. https://example.com/page?param=value#section -> https://example.com/page).

You can configure a default value for this setting as well as add site-specific overrides. For example, you can set the default ignore-in-url value to “Query parameters & hash” and add an override for sites that use query parameters, e.g. youtube.com to “Hash”.
