Use it to call attention to particular parts of the story. Or use it to enhance other addons that you might be building. For example, [Accessibility](https://storybook.js.org/addons/@storybook/addon-a11y/) addon uses it to highlight DOM nodes that are failing accessibility checks.

### Reset highlighted elements

Highlights are automatically cleared when the story changes. You can also manually clear them by emitting the `RESET_HIGHLIGHT` event.

```js
emit(RESET_HIGHLIGHT);
```ts
// MyComponent.stories.ts|tsx

import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react';

import { useChannel } from '@storybook/preview-api';

import { HIGHLIGHT } from '@storybook/addon-highlight';

import { MyComponent } from './MyComponent';

const meta: Meta<typeof MyComponent> = {
component: MyComponent,
};

export default meta;
type Story = StoryObj<typeof MyComponent>;

export const ResetHighlight: Story = {
decorators: [
(storyFn) => {
const emit = useChannel({});
emit(RESET_HIGHLIGHT); //👈 Remove previously highlighted elements
emit(HIGHLIGHT, {
elements: ['header', 'section', 'footer'],
});
return storyFn();
},
],
};
```

### Customize style

```js
emit(HIGHLIGHT, {
elements: ['.title', '.subtitle'],
color: 'red',
style: 'solid', // 'dotted' | 'dashed' | 'solid' | 'double'
});
The addon applies a standard style to the highlighted elements you've enabled for the story. However, you can enable your custom style by extending the configuration object and providing a `color` and `style` option. For example:

Storybook's [Highlight](https://storybook.js.org/addons/@storybook/addon-highlight/) addon allows you to highlight specific DOM nodes within your story. You can use it to call attention to particular parts of the story.
Storybook's [Highlight](https://storybook.js.org/addons/@storybook/addon-highlight/) addon is a helpful tool for visually debugging your components, allowing you to highlight specific DOM nodes within your story when used as a standalone addon or enhancing other addons such as the [Accessibility addon](https://storybook.js.org/addons/@storybook/addon-a11y/) to inform you of accessibility issues within your components.

## Highlighting DOM Elements

## Apply or clear highlights

Highlight DOM nodes by emitting the `HIGHLIGHT` event from within a story or an addon. The event payload must contain a list of selectors you want to highlight.
To highlight DOM elements with the addon, you'll need to emit the `HIGHLIGHT` event from within a story or an addon. The event payload must contain a list of selectors you want to highlight. For example:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->

<CodeSnippets
paths={[
'react/component-story-highlight-addon.js.mdx',
'react/component-story-highlight-addon.ts.mdx',
'angular/component-story-highlight-addon.ts.mdx',
'vue/component-story-highlight-addon.js.mdx',
'vue/component-story-highlight-addon.ts.mdx',
'web-components/component-story-highlight-addon.js.mdx',
'web-components/component-story-highlight-addon.ts.mdx',
]}
/>

<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

Highlights are automatically cleared when the story changes. You can also manually clear them by emitting the `RESET_HIGHLIGHT` event.
### Reset highlighted elements

Out of the box, Storybook automatically removes highlighted elements when transitioning between stories. However, if you need to clear them manually, you can emit the `RESET_HIGHLIGHT` event from within a story or an addon. For example:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->

<CodeSnippets
paths={[
'common/addon-highlight-reset.js.mdx',
'react/addon-highlight-reset.js.mdx',
'react/addon-highlight-reset.ts.mdx',
'angular/addon-highlight-reset.ts.mdx',
'vue/addon-highlight-reset.js.mdx',
'vue/addon-highlight-reset.ts.mdx',
'web-components/addon-highlight-reset.js.mdx',
'web-components/addon-highlight-reset.ts.mdx',
]}
/>

<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->

## Customize style

By default, the addon applies a standard style to the highlighted elements you've enabled for the story. However, you can enable your custom style by extending the configuration object and providing a `color` and `style` option. For example:

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->

<CodeSnippets
paths={[
'common/addon-highlight-customize.js.mdx',
'react/highlight-addon-custom-style.js.mdx',
'react/highlight-addon-custom-style.ts.mdx',
'angular/highlight-addon-custom-style.ts.mdx',
'vue/highlight-addon-custom-style.js.mdx',
'vue/highlight-addon-custom-style.ts.mdx',
'web-components/highlight-addon-custom-style.js.mdx',
'web-components/highlight-addon-custom-style.ts.mdx',
]}
/>
