You can highlight text as you read to call out important information. Select the text you want highlighted and the tool bar will automatically appear.


A toolbar with three pencil icons will appear when you select text.

Choose a color and your text selection will be highlighted for easy reference. Three colors are available to help categorize your highlights based on your study needs.

The highlighted color will change depending on the pencil color you choose.


Any highlights you make are available in the Notes & Highlights section of the activity sidebar. Highlights are flagged with the highlighter icon in the same color you used for that highlight. It includes the date the note was made and the text that was selected.


The pencil icon differentiates highlights from notes.


By default, the Notes & Highlights section shows both notes and highlights. 


Use to the Filter dropdown menu to select Highlights to see only the highlights you have made for the section. Download collects your Notes and/or Highlights (based on your Filter selection) into a single PDF that you can use to review.


The three filter menu options include Notes & Nightlights together, or Notes or Highlights separately.


You can delete highlights directly from the activity sidebar. Locate the highlight you want to remove and select the trash can icon to Delete it.


The delete trashcan appears next to the date the highlight was made.

In the pop-up message asking you to confirm, choose Delete to proceed or Cancel to exit without making changes.


Choose Cancel or Delete in the bottom right-hand corner.
