Introducing the Text Highlighter plugin: Easily emphasize and organize important text in your documents

In modern document editing, clarity and emphasis play a vital role in communication. ONLYOFFICE continues to enhance productivity by offering versatile tools that make editing smoother and more efficient. The new Text Highlighter plugin is one such tool, designed to help you quickly highlight, organize, and visually emphasize important parts of your documents.
