I appreciate that highlights now appear across resources. But it's a bit much when the highlight covers all paragraphs of an entire commentary article rather than maybe just the headword or title. Could this be tweaked without having to turn off highlights in a resource? Again, however, I do appreciate the cross-highlights.
The examples below are in the mobile app where I highlighted 2 Timothy 3:6-7 in the ESV.

Sorry I didnt check the mobile, but can see what you mean. It seems that if you manually highlight the entire verse, including and headers and the verse numbers, then that will interpret as you wanting to highlight the Bible Reference. This will show as the target in the highlight box as the bible reference rather than some of the text (Red rectangle in image). These will appear in other bibles/commentaries. If something in that passage is not selected, such as a title or a footnote reference, the selected text will be the target, and this will be a resource specific highlight and will not appear in the resources. (It will appear in other bibles on the desktop if Corresponding Notes/Highlights are turned on. This might come to mobile at some point also) In the second image I have just not highlighted the final footnote in that verse.Rev. Kevin Obermeyer — Edited
That does seem to explain it, thank you very much, but that's very inconvenient. In my example, if I highlight verse 8, it's not enough to move the range handle off the 8 at the beginning or the period at the end. I have to actually cut off part of either the first word or last word of the verse to change the target. That's just not a practical solution if you're highlighting several verses, especially if there is no footnote or other at the beginning or end of the selection. Not to mention that it's very easy to move the slider just enough to create a different selection and have to start all over again. Maybe that can be addressed somehow, but at least I know what's happening.Kevin — Edited
Yes I agree, it is inconvienient to have to slightly move the range just to have a resource specific highlight, which is what I prefer. Unfortunately you cannot specify on mobile which Notebooks to show, so you cannot filter out the highlights like you can on desktop, it is either all notes on or all notes off, so if you use generic bible reference highlights, and you want to be able to also highlight your commentaries, you are stuck having all your bible reference highlights showing also, which is not great.
