Highlight Preset Dialog

Overview

The Edit Highlight Preset dialog lets you define or modify a highlight preset for the Annotation Highlights toolbar. Each preset controls the name, tooltip, colour, and behaviour flags for a toolbar button.

How to use

  1. Open the Annotation Highlights toolbar and click the edit button for a preset, or create a new preset.
  2. Set the name, help text, and colour.
  3. Toggle the behaviour flags as needed.
  4. Click OK to save the preset.

Options

OptionDescription
Name The label shown for the preset button in the toolbar.
Help text Tooltip text displayed when hovering over the preset button.
Colour The highlight colour applied when this preset is clicked.
Active in toolbar Shows or hides the preset in the Annotation Highlights toolbar.
Favourite Marks the preset as a favourite. Favourites are displayed before non-favourites in the toolbar, while preserving their relative order within each group.
Quick shortcut candidate Stored as preset metadata for future shortcut workflows. This flag does not currently change toolbar behaviour.
Recently used Marks this preset as the last-used preset. The toolbar uses this flag to pre-select the active colour button when the toolbar opens. Only one preset can hold this flag at a time — setting it on one preset clears it on all others.

Note

The Favourite flag affects toolbar ordering only — no separate favourites icon is currently displayed. The Recently used flag is a single “last selected” marker, not a history list.
