How to highlight words in the transcript
On the Transcription page, select the words you want to mark with your mouse and click Highlight, in the bar that appears over the selection. The arrow next to it picks the color, and each color can get a name. Then Filters shows only the lines with a highlight, and the Download menu downloads your highlights. Highlighting is part of Studio and Agency.

OptionalRemove the highlight or change its color
Select words that are already highlighted. Instead of Highlight, the bar shows Remove highlight, which erases it, and Change color, which paints the same highlight in another color. If the selection goes past the highlight, the bar shows Highlight again, and the new highlight covers the whole selection, replacing the old one.
