Thanks Sam for pointing this out. I am going to fool around with double highlights now.

I just wish any of that had been described in the mobile update. I don't find it listed anywhere and really don't have time to search threads and forums and such. And thank you, Sam, for even further explanation.

You could save yourself a tap by hitting the "delete" button next to the 3-vertical-bars at the too. Maybe, this option doesn't always show.
From my testing, I only seem to get that top 'delete' button when I select the entire highlight.

1Cor10 31, Rev. Kevin Obermeyer - you are quite welcome! It is always a blessing to be able to help others as I have been helped so many times through the years on this forum.
Yasmin, I too, only get the 'delete' button at the top of the selection menu when I select the entire highlight, and only when there is no overlapping second highlight. I have gotten used to going directly to the highlight cards at the bottom of the selection menu.

It's a nightmare. It's literally destroyed the way I've always worked in the app. As for support, they don't even bother responding. 😥

I've played around and have figured out how to delete highlighting, especially when there are multiple highlights. The "highlight" cards are the key, Thank you so much! A headache has been resolved.

I agree, "This change, which requires re-highlighting precisely the previous highlight, in order to delete it is such a pain. Is there a shortcut we can set up where we can do X and Y (instead of a single tap as it used to be before) to re-highlight the previous one?"
This update is more cumbersome and time consuming than before. I continue to experience daily struggle and distraction from this app update.

If you look closely at the posts above, you will see that you do not have to re-highlight precisely the previous highlight in order to delete it. This updated highlighting, though different, is actually easier than it was before, once you figure out how to use the highlight cards, particularly when you have multiple highlights in the same location. All you have to do is long-press a single word within the highlight in order to delete the whole highlight. If the word is a part of multiple highlights, you can even choose which highlight to delete.

OK... that was funny...
I still don't like the new highlighting... but truly funny that was! ;-)

Thanks!
Levity can go a long way in easing stress sometimes.
While it is true that ease of use is in the eye of the user, what I stated about actual usage is indeed true; you do not have to “re-highlight precisely the previous highlight” in order to delete it. My pictorial example in one of the posts above is from my own phone. I just tested again on my phone, and I am still able to delete highlights by only long-pressing upon a single word within the highlight.
That being said, I do not know if there are any differences between Android and iOS use expectations. I only use Android for my mobile devices, and this new update is “world's” better for me.

Joe,
Is there any way that the single-tap, double-tap, and long-press functions can be made to be user selectable in the mobile app? I say this because I think this newest update is one of the best updates mobile has had, in Android at least, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. It would be a great benefit if those who need to be able to work with highlights on a regular basis in mobile could choose how they do so, and those who need to be able to easily and quickly move from menu to menu in mobile could choose how they do so.
For me, going back to the old way will make Logos mobile virtually useless for small group Bible study. Before this recent change, I was actually considering some way I might be able to afford a windows type tablet in order to use the desktop version of Logos in small groups.

this was the best update. Please don’t go back. It was nearly impossible to tap the words, select the word, tap the screen if the whole chapter is highlighted.

Yes, v33 beta seems as if it will be beneficial to both those who need quick access to highlights, and those who need quick access to menus.
