Once a verse of scripture has been highlighted can that highlight be removed
Hi @Ronnie Enoch ,
Yes it can.
Select the highlighted text → Press CTRL+SHIFT+K simultaneously, CMD+SHIFT+K if on MacOS.
Three ways: 1. Select the highlight and then press the "R" key. 2. Select the highlight with a right-click, from the selection menu select "Open notes and highlights" ,choose the particular highlight you want to remove, when the note opens delete the note and the associated highlight will be removed. 3. Select the Notes menu from the toolbar, select "Show notes and highlights" dropdown, find the notebook that the highlight was saved into and uncheck it. This third way doesn't remove the highlight it just hides it.
All of these are useful at different times depending on what you want to accomplish.
Be careful with the "R" key because it will remove all highlights associated with the selection which might not be what you want. If you have a word highlighted with one style and the paragraph in which the word is found with another, both highlights will be removed for the selection. The paragraph highlight will be divided into two anchor segments with the word you just selected "R" on excluded.
Also if you have mapped the "R" key to a highlight style, then obviously it will no longer function to remove. This hotkey, as well as the "N" key (to add a note), is not listed in the Logos Hotkey table but they are most useful.
I didn't know the 'R' trick. It has odd plus and minus.
Removes exactly what is selected (with character select on). So, a highlighted 'Kingdom of God' and selected 'of' > R, results in two words highlighted.
That has its uses. But could be headachy!

Folks understand Scripture memorization is no longer sufficient for the day and are beginning to ask me about the best resources for teaching their children & grandchildren why to believe what they believe as opposed to just the older ways of doing things.

Hey Logos Family, Recently anytime I want to have my Logos read aloud any book or article and when I hit the either the Command + R buttons or when I go to the toolbar tab to Read Aloud, it goes into a bit of a glitch and just starts scrolling down. I have restarted my Logos and my computer and it keeps happening. Any help…
When I highlight verses in my preferred Bible I noticed that the same verse is highlighted in all other translations. How do I turn this feature off. I prefer to start afresh when I read other translations.

My wife and I use the Logos Desktop for Bible Study. Each of us have our own computer. Does Syncing across devices change the settings on her computer to match mine? eg If I highlight any text in a Bible or a book does that show up on her computer? She likes to use the ESV Bible and has her own preferences regarding other…
