Is there a way to see all my highlights that I have done in a particular book? Thanks in advance.

    There are several ways you can do this. The most obvious, and less technical ways are:

    1) Find the document name associated with the color palette the style was created in (usually this will Solid Colors or Highlighter Pens for many, by default). Once you locate that document name ("Solid Colors" or "Highlighter Pens" or whatever), simply click on the resource panel icon and click Sort by Title, then scroll to find the title you are looking for.

    2:) You can use these searches below (where StyleName is YOUR specific style used), then sort by  "Resource" once the search runs. 

    • {Highlight StyleName}
    • {Highlight PaletteName/StyleName} —> useful if multiple palettes have a style with the same name
    • {Highlight PaletteName/*} —> finds all styles in that palette

    Moving forward, I would recommend that you switch to resource specific note documents.

    Yes indeed. I am learning that resource specific is quite important.

    You can also use Myke's suggestion of 

    • {Highlight StyleName} within a resource's inline search.

    Martin, that is brilliant! Those who don't use Resource-Specific Highlighting can really benefit from this. But even for those that do, it's a very nice way of reviewing your highlights in a book (perhaps the best way).
