How to mark target text in color like "highlighter" feature in MS Word?

Question

Hi, 
 Is it possible to highlight target text like " highlighter" feature/marker in MS Word in Trados Studio ? I didn't find any feature or tool for that in the Studio . I should highlight some segments and modify them when I finish all segments and back to highlighted segments to fix them. Highlight in color (mostly in yellow color) would be a great thing to find the segments that need to change and modify easily. Is it possible to create highlighter marker without any plugin, just with SDL Trados Studio capabilities? also, I wonder why SDL Trados Studio doesn't have this feature as a button. 
 Best, 
 Masoud

Hello Masoud Moghaddam 
 By default it is available in Studio, however, to keep track of segments you could use comments for example. Are you familiar with this functionality, have you used it before? Highlight and right-click the terms / segment you would like to add a comment to: 
 Then it will be visible with a light yellow background, and if you hover over it with the mouse you will see the note added: 
 
 Alternatively, there is an app called Wordbird which offers a highlighting tool: https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/wordbird/890/ 
 Though I have not used it myself so cannot comment on how this works. 
 Hope you'll find this helpful. Let me know in case you have further questions. 
 Best wishes, Greta
