You cannot move or resize it. The only property you can change is the color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When highlighting using the freeform method or by using the markup method, the resulting markup is more customizable. You can move it and resize it according to your needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can change your default <strong>Highlight tool<\/strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-67\" src=\"https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Highlight_icon.png\" alt=\"\"> to use the freeform method in the preferences menu by clicking on <strong>Revu \ud83e\udc16<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Preferences<\/strong> \ud83e\udc16&nbsp;<strong>Window \ud83e\udc16<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Tablet<\/strong> and unchecking the box for <strong>Enable Text Highlighting<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/default_freeform.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/default_freeform.png 800w, https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/default_freeform-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/default_freeform-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlight Tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first, and most obvious, way to highlight stuff is the <strong>Highlight tool <\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-67\" src=\"https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Highlight_icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\">.

There are two different ways to use the <strong>Highlight tool<\/strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-67\" src=\"https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Highlight_icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\">, either by selecting text directly or using it in freeform mode which is similar to the <strong>Pen tool<\/strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-70\" src=\"https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Pen_tool.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"17\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"highlight-select-text\">Select Text<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Select text is the default mode of the <strong>Highlight tool <\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-67\" src=\"https:\/\/lizlarsen.me\/bluebeamblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Highlight_icon.png\" alt=\"\">.

When text is spread throughout the page or when text has unusual orientation, selecting text can be tricky. You\u2019ll often highlight things you didn\u2019t intend to. You only need to experience this a couple times to know exactly what I\u2019m talking about. It can be really frustrating.
