How to use your premium benefits

Read Later

You’ll find a Save for Later icon and button at the top of every article. Click it to bookmark the article to your account (then refresh the page if this is your first saved post).

To see your saved articles, click your profile icon and then select “Read Later.” It opens a pop-up listing everything you’ve saved, so you can jump back to it any time, from any device you log into.

• Click the X icon to remove an article.
• Click the trash icon to delete all saved items.

You can save up to 500 article links to your account. Remove an item from the list to free up a slot.

Temporary Sticky Note

Click the sticky note icon under the post. Or click your profile icon and then “Sticky Note.” It will open a small note box where you can type whatever you want.

• Drag the note box anywhere on the screen.
• Click the minus icon (-) to minimize it.
• Click the cross icon (x) to close it.

Until you delete the text manually or clear your browser data, chances are your text will be saved to the device. It stays saved even if you visit another page on our website.

Important: The Sticky Note is saved to your browser only, not to your account on our server. It’s a quick scratchpad. If you clear your browser data, switch browsers, or switch devices, the note won’t follow you. If you type something important, copy it and paste it to the Notes app on your phone or computer for safekeeping.

Tip: Use "Read Later" or "Save My Current Reading Spot" instead for anything you want to keep long-term or access elsewhere.

Save My Current Reading Spot

While reading long Bare Acts or law article, click your profile icon and then click "Save My Current Reading Spot" to bookmark exactly how far down the page you have read.

This data is saved to your account so you can resume reading from the right spot on any device where you log in.

You can save up to 100 spots!

Saved Spots

This shows all the reading spots you have saved.

Click your profile icon, then click "Saved Spots" and then click a post. It will auto-scroll you to the place you last read upto.

Tip: You don’t even have to follow this step if you visit the saved post directly, as it will auto-scroll you.

See Highlights

Select text inside a Bare Act or article and a small option will appear letting you highlight it in pink or yellow colors. This works on both computer and phone, but the experience is slightly better on computer, as it has a mouse and trackpad.

Your highlights are saved to your account and will still be there the next time you open that same article, on any device.

Click your profile icon and then click "See Highlights" to open a list of everything you have highlighted, across every article.

Clicking the Highlights icon under the article title will show two arrows on the screen. Click these arrows to jump to your highlighted texts.

You can save up to 5000 highlights for your account.

Article Text Size

Drag the slider to choose how large article text appears, from S (small) to XXL (extra-extra large). This changes the body text of articles only, not menus or buttons elsewhere on the site. Your choice is remembered on your account for next time.

Article Font

Choose the typeface used for article text.

• Inter, Nunito, Bricolage Grotesque — clean, modern sans-serif fonts
• Georgia, Lora, IBM Plex Serif — traditional, book-like serif fonts, often easier for long reading
• Atkinson Hyperlegible — a font specifically designed to be easier to read for people with low vision

Article Background

Reading for long sessions on a white or black background can cause eye pain. Switch the article background color (not the whole site) to light yellow or light brown for a comfortable reading experience.

Article Layout

Choose whether the article text sits to the Left, Center (default), or Right of the page. This option isn’t shown on phone or tablet screens, since there isn’t extra width for it to make a visible difference there.

Note: On articles that have a Table of Contents panel on the left side, your layout will shift automatically so the article never sits underneath it. This is temporary and only applies to that article. Your own saved choice is unaffected and returns on the next page where Table of Contents box is not shown.

Fixed Bottom Menu Bar

Select “Off” to hide the fixed navigation bar that may appear along the bottom of the computer or phone screen.

• Default — follows the site’s normal setting (this can be either On or Off, as set by us)
• On — always show the bottom bar (this may not work if we have chosen not to show the menu bar)
• Off — always hide the fixed bottom bar if it’s shown by default

Your choice is saved for future sessions.

Note: You can stick either the top menu bar or the bottom menu bar to the screen, not both.

Fixed Top Menu Bar on Computer

Select "Off" if you don’t want to see the top menu bar stay fixed at the top of the screen as you scroll down the page.

Note: You can stick either the top menu bar or the bottom menu bar to the screen, not both.

Notification bell

A bell icon sits beside your profile icon, just outside the menu panel. Click it to see updates from us for new Bare Acts, articles, and other things. Opening the bell automatically marks everything inside as read.

Opening the account menu

Look for the round profile icon in the top right corner or lower right corner of the website. It shows your initials once you’re logged in. Click or tap it to open the Premium menu panel. You can close it again by:

• Clicking the cross (X) close button
• Clicking or tapping anywhere outside the panel
• Pressing the Esc key on computer your keyboard

The same panel with the same options are available on both desktop and mobile.
