Highlights
When you highlight a passage in a note or a PDF on Mac, it shows under Comments with its quote. A highlight without a comment reads Highlight, and a PDF highlight shows its page number.
Copy or delete
On Mac, right-click a comment and choose Copy or Delete, or Delete highlight for a highlight.
On Mac there's no way to edit a comment. To change a PDF highlight's comment, click the highlight in the PDF and choose Add comment. On iPhone and iPad, comments can't be deleted.
