• Welcome! This is a group for Logos Bible Software users to discuss the Highlighting tool: get help, share tips, make suggestions, etc.

  • I use the highlighting tool a lot, and find it very useful for original language study. My problem is this: over the years I have collected an increasingly long list of instances where I am unable to erase highlighting, using either the "null" symbol on the highlighting popup or the "erase" option on the big highlighting function. Is there any solution to this?
    1. You can bulk edit or delete in the Notes tool.

    2. Fabulous Tip! I just Cleansed my NA27 of several years' worth of annoying, unwanted highlights, some of which just "appeared"! Thank you!

  • Is there a way to search for how you might have highlighted a word? I've created a bunch of custom highlights. I want to highlight "trust" in the same way I've used before but I can't find it in my palette. If I search in the bible for the word trust, the word highlights in yellow and doesn't show any highlights I might have added.

    1. Hi Jean I normaly open the passage or line in my mobile app. -> Tap on the highlight It already showes the icon of the highlight that you you used. If that does not help to identify then: -> Tap on the Menu button for Highlights - the 3 vertical dots to the right of the highlight selection. -> Tap on "Additional Styles" -> scroll through your list. You'll see a checkmark on the right to the one highlight that you used for "trust" I think there are other ways to get there, one over the search tool and the other by searching your note in the notes tool. But this way always seemed easiest for me.

  • I have created my own highlight palette. I would like to remove the others from the highlight window. Is there a way to do that?

    1. How do you turn off community highlighting?

      1. I really enjoy the highlighting tool. I appreciate that one can customize them as well and keep adding. This is great! Something I noticed while I was highlighting is that when I had two Bibles up (an English and a Spanish Bible) if it was just one word or some, that same one word or some would be highlighted in the other Bible up also! I know that in other software it can be where if you highlight the entire verse, it'll show the same way in another Bible version but this was one step ahead. I was then curious to see if it would correspond with my mobile devices as well. While the same version will, I noticed it does not carry on when switching to another Bible language or version. In short, I thought corresponding highlights was amazing. Is there a way to bring it to the mobile devices also so that what I highlight on m y desktop can carry onto all Bible languages and versions whether desktop or mobile?

        1. When "The Word Search" Platform transferred over to Logos, quite a it of my books in the Word Search Library did not transfer over to Logos. Did anyone else experience this?

            Is there a way to transfer all of your highlighting from one Bible translation to another?

            1. while reading or studying my bible through logos, I find others highlights or rather and indication they have highlighted a passage, is there a way I can turn this off? Thank you in advance Kevin

              1. , that's the popular highlights feature, which can be turned off per resources or across all resources. Look for it in the visual filters menu, the three circles stacked like a triangle at the top left of the resource panel's toolbar.

              Can I merge 2 highlighting styles in one style? I accidentally created two styles and used both of them to highlight. Now I want them to be under one style

              1. Click on the down arrow next to the one you want to get rid of, choose Restyle Annotations, then choose the list you want them to merge with. Then you can delete the unwanted list.

            3. Is there anyway to duplicate the Highlighting window? I am creating a very extensive highlighting system and created several pallets. ex 12 Tribes pallet - Nations pallet. When I am highlighting or choosing a highlight in the Visual filters...... I am scrolling...scrolling.....scrolling on the river!!!!! Also I know you can collapse the pallets in the highlighting window.....However that doesn't seem to be an option when choosing a highlight in Visual Filters. Anyone have any ideas for any of this?
