Highlight coding
When viewing a file or node you can highlight coded content.
Highlighting can help you to:
- Check what you have and have not coded.
- Quickly locate comments by participants with particular demographic attributes as you read through a focus group transcript
- Visually compare the coding of different team members
If you want to see what has been coded to specific nodes, you can display coding stripes.

- On the menu bar, in the View group, click Highlight, and then choose an option.
