highlighting in web author

Our authors really like the review tools' highlighting feature in desktop Oxygen. Is there a plan yet to include highlighting in web author?

Hi,

The review highlighting feature is not available yet in We Author. How important is this functionallity for you?

There is a PersistentHighlights API available that can be used to create a plugin that adds color highlights in the document.
If this is important for you, maybe we can work on a sample plugin with basic highlighting functionallity that you can use as a starting point to make the entire feature available.

Best Regards,

This would be a nice feature to have. Probably a medium priority to our users.

Thank you! Our users are looking forward to this - I'd say it's a higher priority to them than I originally thought.
