What This Does
Highlights are useful while you are working and distracting when you are not. This switch takes them off the page without deleting anything, so you can read the page clean and bring them back whenever you want.
Who is This For?
This is helpful for:
- Anyone re-reading a page they have already marked up heavily
- Students testing themselves without the answers highlighted in front of them
- Anyone who finds a page of colour hard to read
- People about to share their screen who would rather not show their notes
Step 1: Open All Features
Open Helperbird and go to All Features. Scroll to the Highlights row.
Step 2: Turn Highlights Off
Turn the toggle off. Your highlights disappear from the page and Helperbird confirms with Highlights hidden.
Nothing has been deleted. Every highlight is still saved, still attached to the page it was made on, and still listed in your notes.
Getting Them Back
Turn the toggle back on. Helperbird confirms with Highlights visible and your marks reappear exactly where they were.
If you actually want a highlight gone for good, that is a different job. See how to manage sticky notes and highlights.
