Help:New filters for edit review/Highlighting function

Highlight menus and highlighted results
Highlighting enables you to apply color to emphasize desired edit properties. Used correctly, this can help you more quickly identify the edits that are most important for your work.

To use highlighting, click the Highlight Results button at the top of the #Dropdown filter panel; highlight menus will appear next to every filter option. Open the menu for the property you want to emphasize and select a color; the system will shade all edit results with that property.

You can apply as many colors as you like, though it’s best to be selective. If an edit possesses more than one highlighted property, the system shades that edit with a blend of the relevant highlight colors (e.g., combining yellow and blue to make green). Colored dots in the left margin next to the edit tell you what colors make up the blend.

Tip: You can use highlighting with filtering or independently of the associated filter. The latter can be very useful. For example, Juliet, a new page patroller, may be interested in knowing whether pages were created by registered or unregistered users. She could filter for New Pages and Unregistered, but then she’d see only that subset. Alternatively, she could filter for New Pages but simply color Unregistered, allowing her to easily spot the pages by unregistered users but to review more broadly as well.
