All my highlights shifted a few words to the right?

#1

Post by LisaZ »

So about ten years ago, i was doing a LOT of highlighting in my scriptures. I had a pretty great system that included the following:

• Yellow/Gold: A member of thr Godhead (Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, or any mention of any of their various names

• Green: “Go,” or any commandment we were asked to keep, or a commandment that someone else was asked to keep, or something someone did that we could emulate or follow their example.

• Red: “Stop,” or the opposite of the above.

• Purple: “Promises,” or any promised blessings as we obey those items in green (or disobey or do the items in red).

So I had been following this pattern for nearly a decade, through the beginning of Come Follow Me and all the way through to now.

However, some update happened to Gospel Library back in ~2018 that pushed all my highlights a few words to the right. Now my highlights are all wrong, and it has been so incredibly frustrating having to delete multiple highlights per verse (!!!!) and redo every single color.

It has been so frustrating that i have actually *wished* there were a way to just delete ALL the notes I’ve done because they are all wrong, and seeing the ones I've made just makes me so sad.

The time I invested and now having to invest twice as much time to delete manually every single tiny highlight, I just don't know why this happened or why i cant revert it back.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to fix this, or mahbe even just delete all the highlights all at once?? 😭😭

I do not believe there is a way to delete all of the notes at once. There also is no "revert" function.

And sadly, there was a bug recently where many highlights shifted a word or two. It was reported (but not yet confirmed) that this bug was fixed.

Try using the newer "Study Set" feature. All of the notations you have made in the past should be part of the "Default Set." You can turn off that set and make a new set. Then you're starting new. See this article:
