    Hi there, Tash41! Thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    What kind of document are you trying to highlight?

     

    If it's a PDF, you won't be able to highlight it through the Dropbox mobile app; you can, however, do so on our website.

     

    Here's how you can do it.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions!

        Hey Tash41!

         

        I just tried on my end, and it seems to work. Would you mind trying through an entirely different browser to see if you notice the same behavior?
