Your Constellation experience should be personal and unique (and, if you want, sharable too!). That’s why we’ve leveraged the latest technologies to deliver a set of features that are designed to increase efficiency and help you navigate content in a way that best suits your needs. Here are some features we think you’ll enjoy.

Let There Be Light
Highlighting is a powerful tool for learning. With Constellation, you’ll get a customizable highlighting tool right at your fingertips – allowing you to easily notate important items in your course materials. Highlight key ideas, passages, and facts, and revisit them when you’re ready to study or review.

An Option to Note
Expressing an idea in your own words can be priceless. Try the Notes feature in Constellation to rewrite concepts as you process them, or to cross-reference different components of your course material. Organize your notes as you see fit with different color options.

Seek and You’ll Find
Smarter searching means smarter studying. You can browse key terms or concepts in Constellation’s Search pane – search results will open in the margin under the search box. Simply click on the search results to navigate to the exact spot in the material that yielded results.

It All Comes Together
Mastering your materials just got easier with Annotation Summaries. You can view your highlights, notes, and bookmarks in one place with Constellation’s “Show Summary” feature. Your summary will appear in the right margin of your course materials with separate tabs for each type of annotation. Click on the highlight, note, or bookmark in the summary and you’ll revisit the exact spot in the material for that highlight, note, or bookmark.

Get Digital
Get what you want, how you want it with the Download feature. You can download multiple file types from Constellation for increased flexibility and ease of use. The file types available are:

• PDF (Adobe): Choose PDF if you prefer a textbook look and feel or if you plan on having a print vendor print the materials for you. With a PDF on your computer, you do not need to be connected to the internet to review or study your materials. It’s as simple as open and go. 
• ePUB: ePUB is an –industry-standard open-file format for electronic books. You can download this file type if you want to display your materials on a portable device like an iPhone or Kindle. ePUB will allow you to transfer your materials to as many devices as you like. 
• RTF: RTF is a raw content file. It’s very small and ideal if you’re working with a slower internet connection. 
• MP3: MP3 is an industry-standard file format for compressed audio files. This option allows you to listen to your material on-the-go.

Hot Off the Presses
Still love those hard copies? You can Print directly from Constellation by clicking the “Print” button in the upper right hand area. You can choose to print all the materials, a chapter or chapters of materials, or one section to multiple sections of the materials. You can also choose to print just the material, just your notes and highlights ,or both the material and annotations. Your customized study guide awaits.
