This guide covers creating, editing, sharing, deleting, and engaging with Highlights. Users can create a Highlight by uploading content, adding a cover image and title, applying filters or effects, and setting audience preferences before publishing. They can edit captions, stickers, and settings, share via direct links or messages, and delete Highlights with confirmation. Users can also engage by commenting on stories within Highlights to share feedback and participate in discussions.
