undo last highlight?

Is there a way to undo the last highlight I made in Logos? (As can be done with control-z in Word.)

I have come up with a pretty extensive color-coded highlighting system that really helps me locate different types of things later when looking back at the resource. I highlight pretty quickly as I read. Occasionally, instead of highlighting the word/phrase I meant to, a huge chunk is highlighted. Before I realize that, I press the button to highlight. And a huge chunk has been highlighted which I had previously highlighted with various colors according to my system. If I remove the highlight from that huge chunk, it removes not only the last accidental highlight, but all other highlights as well. 

I am wondering if there is a way to undo only the last highlight that was added. 

If not, is there a place on the Logos website to suggest a feature be added? 

(The best solution I have found when that happens is to click on "layouts" and go to a snapshot. Nonetheless, I always lose some of my highlights even when I do that. But it's better than nothing!)

    Control-Z works in Logos as well or delete the highlight in the Note file

    That's interesting Control-Z works for you. If I press Control-Z immediately after I highlighted, the highlight remains. I'm using:

    Logos Bible Software 8.13
    8.13.0.0008

    Thanks for suggesting deleting the highlight in the Note file. I have never done that before, but had the problem happen just now and was able to figure out how to do that and it worked. Thanks! I wish control-z would work for me since that would be much faster, but I'm really thankful to know there is a solution that works! Thanks for taking the time to respond and help me. I really appreciate it.
