3. App settings

App will allow you to activate automatic syncing or manual syncing.

  • Auto sync: If you chose to enable automatic syncing, this means that whenever the app will detect change in your Apple Books activity, the app will automatically sync your highlights and notes to your Libello profile and you don't need to do anything else.
  • Manual sync: If you chose to disable automatic syncing, you will need to click the small [Sync now] button whenever you want your highlights and notes to be synced.

4. iCloud settings

If your data is not syncing, make sure you have iCloud settings for Books app enabled on your iPhone.

  1. Open Settings
  2. Tap on your name
  3. Tap on iCloud
  4. Under Apps using iCloud tap on Show all
  5. Find Books and enable syncing

5. Wait for data to get synced and uploaded

Once your highlights and notes are synced, you will see the last sync date changed and you need to wait for Libello to process the data and upload the data to your user profile. The process can take up to a few minutes.

When Libello is finished processing your data, you will receive a notification and you will be able to find your reading journey on your user profile.
