Highlight Only (Yellow Highlights)

The yellow highlighter lets you quickly set off important sections of a text. Yellow highlights are only visible in your PDF and are not saved as knowledge items. The yellow highlighter is ideal for quickly going through a text and picking out important sections. It lets you highlight important passages in a PDF file just as you would on paper.
