New excerpt highlight options have been introduced in Dedoose 10 to allow users to customize them based on their preference, including a bar-only option. To change your excerpt highlight color:
1. Open a document and navigate to the settings icon in the upper left corner.
2. Select the highlight color preference OR unselect the “highlight” box to only have the excerpt parameter bar highlighted to the left of the excerpt.
An example of the bar-only highlight is below.
If you are using custom colors for your codes, the code colors will not be applied to your excerpt. A best practice when using Dedoose is to have one excerpt with multiple codes attached, thus overriding any single code color.
