How Can I Better Utilize Visual Filters?

How can I make better use of visual filters to enhance my Bible study? Currently, I only use visual filters infrequently, and I would like to learn how I could make better use of this feature in the future. In what situations are visual filters helpful?

    I have shared a set of custom-made Highlighters and Dynamic Filters here. Maybe it helps. Feel free to ask for further explanation.

    I'd assume you'd want to use 'visual' filters for things you want to 'see'. Extra emphasis, comparison, etc. I'd start with the question, what do you want to see? There's also the opposite … not wanting emphasis … seeing as the author wrote.

    For me, I have just two types. I (approximately) date my apparatus estimates (mss). Neither perfectly accurate, nor necessarily indicative of early/late. And then I have my wiggle-writing filter that highlights author wiggling on reasoning. Interestingly, I use a MultiBook view for commentaries (with the wiggle filter on). And by necessity my lead Bible gets 'wiggled' too. Biblical authors didn't wiggle very much at all.
