Gospel library highlights have shifted

Post by dcondie00 »

Hello,
My wife and I have been going through the Book of Mormon together and highlighting every instance of the Godhead. I recently finished the Book of Mormon for my personal study and I started back over from the beginning of the Book of Mormon and I've started to notice that all of my highlights have shifted. An example of this can be seen in the attached screenshot. I have 5 red underline highlights and all 5 of them were originally highlighting "the Lord." Now only one of them is still correct. The entire Book of Mormon on my gospel library app is like this, and it's inconsistent how much the highlight has shifted (sometimes it can shifted by 5 or more words, or the highlight will be gone if it's at the end of a verse.) It's frustrating rereading because I'm spending more time fixing the highlights rather than engaging in the word of God.
Thank you for your time,
-Dallin Condie

Do you see any sync errors next to your username in Gospel Library Settings?

Given that multiple people are seeing the same behavior with their highlighted passages, I'd feel confident saying that an "off-by-one" bug was recently introduced.

Report the bug via the app's "Feedback" mechanism and once the bug is fixed your highlights will be restored to their correct positioning. Don't correct highlighted passages, just leave them alone untilt he bug is fixed (otherwise the highlighted passages you "fix" will again appear wrong after the bug is corrected and you'll have to fix them yet again)

I think that this has been fixed – can others confirm?

You can force the app to sync annotations by going to the Home section of the app and pulling downward (you'll see a pull-to-refresh spinner). To see if the latest sync was successful, you can check under your Church Account username in Settings. If the sync was successful, it will show something like "Last sync: 1 minute ago." After syncing (fingers crossed), highlights should be back in their proper place!
