Selected text: Highlight just the text you want, then click the + button that appears.
Steps:

Choose a type: Lodging, Flight, Transportation, or Activity

Click the link to view it in your library
Import a trip template
A trip template is a full itinerary with multiple activities—perfect for day-by-day itinerary pages.

Switch the dropdown from Activity template to Trip template
Click Import trip template — this can take a few minutes

Save images to your media library
Right-click any image on a travel website and select Add to Tern media library. Edit the filename and folder if you'd like, then click Save.
Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP (max 10 MB)
Note: Some images are rendered as buttons and can't be right-clicked directly. If you don't see "Open image in new tab" in the right-click menu, the image can't be saved this way.
Settings
Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the extension panel to adjust display options:
Show floating icon — toggles the circular Tern button on webpages
Show text selection icon — toggles the + button when you highlight text
Settings sync across all devices where you're signed into Chrome.
Troubleshooting
I don't see the Tern icon in my toolbar. Go to
chrome://extensions/, make sure Tern is enabled, then click the puzzle piece and pin it.The floating button isn't showing. Open the extension, go to Settings, and make sure Show floating icon is on.
I can't save an image. Make sure you're logged in and the image is under 10 MB. If the image doesn't show "Open image in new tab" when right-clicked, it can't be saved to Tern.
Import failed or got stuck. Check your library to see if it went through. If not, refresh the page and try again.
Login popup won't open. Your browser may be blocking popups. Allow popups for the Tern site and try again.
Known limitations (beta)
All activities on one day: Occasionally, trip imports land everything on a single day. You'll need to move activities manually.
Activities imported as info blocks: Same as above—manual migration needed.
Email templates don't import images: This is a known limitation; image support may come in a future update.
