Changing the Color of an Image Highlight:
-
Click to select the "eye-dropper" shaped color-dropper on the right-hand side of the toolbar at the top of the image document window—you'll have to "check out" the document to access the toolbar of editing tools.

-
Click to select a highlight to change its color to the new selected color.

Alternatively, click the trash-can shaped “Remove Highlight” button on the right-hand side of the toolbar at the top of the document window, and you will be asked to confirm the highlight deletion.
Deleting Annotations and Links from a Highlight:
-
Select a highlight to open its highlight window; the video above demonstrates this on a text document—on an image document click to select a highlight using the “hand” tool located on the left-hand side of the document toolbar to open the highlight window (note you'll have to "check out" the document to access editing tools).
-
Click the “x” button on the right-hand side of the tile of the annotation or link you’d like to delete from the highlight.
