Quoting comments in your replies
When conversation threads get long, you sometimes want to reply to something in a comment far up in the thread. You can now do this by highlighting the part of the comment you want to quote and clicking
Quote this in my reply
:Once you do this, Perusall will format the quote for you in your reply, and @-mention the person you are quoting; you can then add your comment below that:

Sometimes it's fun to add a little whimsy into your comments! Click the

button in the toolbar to search for the perfect GIF to add to your comment:Citation assistance

If you add a bio to your profile (click your name in the upper right corner of the screen, and then click
