Text that isn't read: smart skipping

Citation numbers ([12], footnote markers; on scanned pages, also the small footnote number at the top right of a word), links (URLs, DOIs, email addresses), footnote blocks at the bottom of the page and the "References / Bibliography" section aren't read. Each rule can be turned off separately. "Source:" notes under tables and footnotes continued from the previous page are skipped too.

Document-specific skipping: select a text that repeats on the page (an author's name, a journal title) and choose "Skip when reading"; that text is skipped on every page of the document. Only lines that mostly consist of that text (headers/footers, footnotes) or lines your selection fully covers are skipped; a single word inside a long paragraph line doesn't make that line skip. The list is in the Notes panel › Skipped tab; delete an entry and it is read again.
