Highlighting lost from clipped content

When I converted to the new version all the highlighting I had in clipped web pages disappeared.

Hi, and welcome to the forums. These are primarily user-to-user, and for an issue like this, it might be worth contacting Evernote support, since you have a Premium subscription.

That doesn't surprise me. I assume your clips are now in boxes which say html or webclip.  I generally like the new html box for web clips because I find that it messes up the formatting less than the old system did. However the big downside is that you cannot edit the text at all including adding highlights. I would have thought that clips highlighted in the old version would be safe so I agree with @Dave-in-Decatur it might be worth contacting support.

But is it possible to click the gray bar at the top of the HTML box to get the "make editable" magic wand? Or doesn't that work for material that originated in a Web clip?

Yes you can do that. You can then highlight your simplified, editable text. That's certainly an option if the the magic wand process doesn't mess up the formatting which sometimes it does. Some people have also said they like to highlight something that looks as close as possible to the original webpage.

@EBos

Can you elaborate about the content that was clipped?

When you originally clipped it, what setting did you use? Was it possible you used Simplified Article?

It was web pages clipped in Chrome using webclipper, almost all as simplified articles.
