Copy Link to Highlight

Copy Link to Highlight is a built-in tool in the Google Chrome Web Browser. It allows users to select a word, sentence, or paragraph on a web page and share a direct link to that highlighted information with another user. This feature is helpful when trying to point a colleague to specific information on a website. 

First, navigate to the desired web page and select a word, sentence, or paragraph anywhere on that page.
