Review JUST One Set of Colored Highlights

Post by shade-cabin-hammock »

Hi,

I've got a pretty well-marked-up document on my hands. Is there any built-in way I can hide ALL highlights except for one color? So that I could just focus on, let's say group "Yellow" as I go through the file?

If there's not a built-in way, among my many fellow heavy-users...have you ever engineered an end run on such a feat?

Lo! Honored dev and moderators - any ideas for effecting a near-such? Right now all I can come up with is just deleting all the comments and leaving one color. But, that seems less than optimal.

Sincerely,

SCH

Hi,

Currently it is not possible to only show highlights of one specific color, but "Group by Color" can already help.

- activate the Comments pane (in the View-ribbon, click Panes > Comments or in the Comments-ribbon, click Comments)
- in the Comments pane, click the Options... button > Show > Show Comments > By Type > Highlight
- in the Comments pane, click the Options... button > Group by > Group by Color

Now you have a list of only Highlights, sorted by color. Does that help ?

Hello after a long time,

It can be done.

Change the status of the selected color group and then show it by status:
Color Groups.gif

If a "mark all" feature will be added in a later version (for a selected group), under the checked tab - a single group can be easily shown by selecting "show/hide only marked/unmarked ones". Thus, there will be no need to change the status.

Thanks to Toygun for the tip.

@Tracker Support
Maybe ask the development team if an additional option for only showing a specific Highlight color would be possible ?
via Comments-pane > Options > Show > Show Comments > By Type > Highlight > specific highlight color(s)

Kind regards.

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,

I will ask on the next meeting, but as usual can not make any promises at this point!

Kind regards,
Stefan
