A reviewer given a long document with no guidance often has to read the whole thing carefully just to figure out what actually needs their attention, which slows down the review cycle unnecessarily. Highlighting the specific sections you want feedback on tells them exactly where to focus, making the review faster and more targeted.
This is especially useful when only certain parts of a document have changed or need a decision, while the rest is settled or unchanged. Rather than asking a reviewer to reread an entire contract or report, highlighting just the new or uncertain sections respects their time and gets you more focused feedback.
Using a consistent color scheme across a document, or across multiple documents you send for review, helps too: if you always use the same color for 'needs a decision' versus a different color for 'FYI only,' reviewers learn your system quickly and can triage their attention even faster on future documents.
Once you've highlighted the relevant sections, a brief note (in the email or message accompanying the file, since the highlight itself doesn't carry text) explaining what kind of feedback you're looking for on each highlighted area rounds out a clear, efficient review request.

FAQ
Why highlight sections instead of just sending the whole document?
It tells the reviewer exactly where to focus, making the review faster and more targeted instead of a full reread.
Should I use different colors for different types of feedback?
Yes, if you review documents regularly. A consistent color system helps reviewers triage their attention faster over time.
Can the highlight itself carry a note or comment?
The highlight box itself doesn't carry text, so pair it with a note in your accompanying email or message.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. All annotation happens in your browser.
Does this work for highlighting multiple sections across many pages?
Yes. Add as many highlight boxes as needed across any pages in the document.
