Option to disable dimming markups when filtered out

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I don't see that there is an option to disable the automatic dimming of markups when filtering the Markups List. This creates challenges in workflows where supporting sketches are drawn to provide visual context for comments but are not meant to appear as actionable items in the Markups List.

Currently, when filtering the Markups List (e.g., to show only "Review Comments"), all non-matching markups, including supporting sketches, are automatically grayed. This makes the sketches harder to see which reduces their visibility and effectiveness.

Proposed Solution: Add an option to toggle the "Dim Unselected Markups" behavior when filters are applied to the Markups List. Please!

@Sondra.Camis There is a preference that may help this situation! Under Revu → Preferences (Ctrl + K), go to the Interface tab and then Markups List. Filtered Annotation Dim defaults to 40%. Changing to 100% provides greater visibility while still greyed out.

Here is an example of a filtered markup at 100%.

Here it is at 40%.

@Ryan Arbuckle - Thank you for the response. I did see that preference option, but the markups are still in gray even at 100%. I really want the color!!

This is the intent of the filtering though, to allow you to focus on the markups being filtered for. I understand your idea though, you would like to option to retain the color when you are specifically focusing on the review comments. Maybe you can leverage the markup list instead. For example make a new column (or use the checkmark column) and tag the review comments:

Then you sort (not filter) for the yes (or checked) and when you click on that item it jumps you to that comments but all other markups stay in full color on that page. In the case above I set a custom column to a choice option. Then assign the review comments with a yes. And when done reviewing you can set to reviewed. The sorting will move that item down. So the top part of the list just has your outstanding items. Not filtering, just sorting. You just need to pre-tag the items to be reviewed with yes, items without a entry are sorted to the bottom. Your other choices are sorted inbetween. Unless you have Z code, then it'll be first…

@Duane Gingras Thanks for the suggestion.
