Windows 10: Highlighter pen is missing in Edge

I used a highlighter pen in Edge to highlight PDFs. But now, in this new Edge version, I cannot find the features that I liked. I am so upset

Highlighter not working on Microsoft Edge

I used to be able to open a PDF file in Microsoft Edge and highlight the necessary parts of the document. But something has changed and now I cannot highlight the part of the document. When I click on the highlighter nothing happens. I have an HP Envy
pc/tablet. Neither pen nor my finger works. I tried the in-build troubleshooter and reset the app.

 

How to turn off automatic green highlighting in Onenote Mobile

Hi,

The green highlighting is showing you the content that you added from the device that you haven't read on the computer. You can go to Share > Mark as Read and uncheck "Show unread Changes in this Notebook". Or you can also try the steps below:

• Click the "Tools" drop-down menu from the top of OneNote.
• To change to a regular style pen, select "Writing Tools" and then "Pens." Then select the pen you'd like to use.
• To change to keyboard text, select "Writing Tools," and then select "Type/Selection Tool."

Let us know how it goes.
