AmyYes, please! I like to use the highlighter when editing. When I start editing my project I will definitely be missing this feature.

Maya PozzoloI highlight when I have to go back and add or remove something. It's super useful for edits.

EllenYes, another vote for highlighting. I find it so useful for quickly noting what I need to come back to.

LucilleYes please! I usually highlight things I need to rename or give names to and whatnot, so having this feature would be wonderful.

Jace MergedI edit using color coordination, but for my first run-through, I like to make note of anything that needs to be changed by using the color red or blue. Hopefully, this may be a feature in the future. <3

Rachael100% this! I use the highlight feature in Word when working on a project that I need to go back to things in.

CateHighlights would be so useful! In Scrivener, I use different highlighter colors for different things — I mark repeated words in green, yellow means the passage needs rewording or checking, orange needs tightening, etc. I'm having to get by with bolding anything that needs to be checked, but it doesn't give me the same level of info.

Nancy MergedI want to be able to add color highlighting to phrases or sections I want to revisit and edit.

NancyYes, the reason I may go back to Scrivener is that I cannot highlight various passages I want to return to for editing.

KitinuumThat is a great idea! Could the highlight also be in several different colors? On physical manuscripts I assign my characters their own color, especially for dialogue, so if I feel like only dealing with a particular person I can change, alter, erase (giggle) etc.

DanikaI desperately NEED a highlighting option - at least yellow. The ability to make some text RED would be great for editing.

Daniel ShawI am new to Dabble. Coming over from that other writing software. The most surprising thing that I have found missing is the ability to highlight and color-code things I want to come back to and rewrite or just correct later. Please add this soon if possible. I like so many things about Dabble, but this is a difficult feature to live without.
