Highlighting is key to learning. It's a powerful tool that enhances comprehension and retention of content. By identifying the significant information within a piece of content, highlighting helps you identify key concepts and important details.

This not only aids in immediate understanding, but also provides a valuable reference for future review. In fact, research shows that highlighting can improve memory recall and facilitate deep learning by promoting active engagement with your material.

Highlighting will apply a distinct colour to the background of the selected text, making it visually prominent and distinguishable from the surrounding content. You can easily create a highlight by selecting the important or relevant portion of text within your content.

After you have finished your selection, a menu will appear. Here you can choose the highlight icon from the options in the menu.

To remove the highlight, simply select the cancel highlight icon.

You can view your highlights via the web application. Simply click on the Highlights icon in the left menu to view all highlights you've made from any device.

You can search for a specific highlight and sort by recently added.

Note: If you only want to view the highlights you've made - and not highlights made by others in a shared workspace - be sure the filter "My highlights only" is switched on.
