Support for highlighting bulleted content in lesson manuals.
I am unable to highlight bullets in my primary lesson manuals.
This is not a limitation of the app. Even the current app could highlight and underline and add notes to bulleted lists, pictures, and other un-annotatable content all day. The content and, by extension, the Church’s web annotations server, can’t handle the annotations because it’s not setup to handle it. Content like this is generally older and fixing it has taken an enormous amount of time. There is more for them to do than simply flipping a switch. The content team has been very busy the last couple of years working on a very substantial content update that fixes this issue. Because it is such a major change in how content is delivered to the application, Gospel Library v2 will most likely not be updated to support it, and only the upcoming v4 (Windows 10 UWP) will support the new content source—so anyone can mark whatever to their heart’s content.
Old Message:
This will happen automatically as we roll out the new version of Gospel Library built for Windows 10 and using the new Content from the church. It is access to the new content that will allow the highlighting of bulleted content to become a reality.

On the contrary, most content can, indeed, be annotated.
It needs to be pointed out, because commenters here don't seem to understand: this is not a limitation of the app. The app could highlight and underline and add notes to bulleted lists, pictures, and other un-annotatable content all day.

This would be great to have and I was quite surprised that it is not available. It makes the vast majority of content not able to be annotated.

We are looking into how best to support legacy devices, but the new app will not (at least initially) support the new content as do have it support that new content would require a very substantial rewriting of the application (which is why we have essentially started from scratch for the new Windows 10 app and the HTML 5 content source.)

What about people that do not have windows 10 on their phone? Currently I have 8.1 on my Lumia 735, and Microsoft hasn't released yet if I have the option to upgrade, and I'm not sure I want to upgrade. Will this new app work with my phone?
Thank you! :) -

No. You'll notice the new content has rolled out because the app will have an enormous overhaul, with a new interface on top of all the new content.
