Is anyone still having this problem? I still am and still have to use 2.5 to remove accidental highlights. I'm using the latest iOS 8.1.3

I was having this problem. Sometimes "Remove" would show up on the list of options (copy, note, mark, etc.) and sometimes it wouldn't. I found that if I selected the highlighted portion and double-tapped it, "Remove" would show as an option (at least it just worked 2 times in a row).

Good luck.

Go into the library, then in Notes, then in Notebook... You will find the scriptures repeatedly showing in the list, click edit, select the radio button for the ones you want to delete and hit delete!

I hope this helps :-)

I use version 3.4 on iPhone. For that version you have to tap the highlighted verse(s).

1) If there is only one highlight, a menu will popup. Tap the right arrow for more options. Then tap Remove. If you have any annotations with the highlight, those will be removed too.

2) If there is more than one highlight on a verse, or a section of verses, tap a highlighted verse and you will be taken to a "Choose a Highlight" screen. Tap the highlight you want to remove. You will be taken back the to verse(s) and see the popup menu. Tap the right arrow for more options. Then tap Remove. If you have any annotations with the highlight, those will be removed too.

I am unable to delete highlighting in the new version of LDS Tools version 4.0.1 9906. This is very annoying and instead of deleting the highlight with the trash can, it makes it darker. Please advise a fix to this issue.

Thank you.

You can create a highlight by tapping and holding on a word. You can edit a highlight by tapping on it quickly. It sounds like you're resting your finger on the highlight for slightly too long, which is creating several highlights on top of each other, on the same word (that's why it's getting darker). Just a quick tap should select the highlight for editing.

I am unable to delete a highlight on both my Android and I Pad devices. My Android is version 4.0.1.2 and my I pad is version 4.0.2 9909. This is very frustrating and needs to be fixed.

The comment saying to tap lightly worked. I had highlights on top of highlights and just kept lightly tapping and deleting until they were all gone.
