  I am not getting "delete" when I right click on a Diigolet highlight I made ... is this a current glitch? I cannot delete any highlight or note I have made.

  hi, did you see the edit menu when you put your mouse over the highlight? can you find the "delete" item on the popup menu? and what's your browser, IE, ff or other? thanks

  Again, no need to control-click or right click.
  
  When the sticky note is shown:
  
  * use the Actions menu within the note.

  … and the 'X' icons alongside each note within the sticky note container
  
  X in this case = delete
  
  X in this case ≠ close
  
  … and the 'X' icon that is sometimes at the top right of the sticky note container, but I don't know whether this one means close or delete.
  
  (A past topic suggests use of a trash can icon, less likely to be misinterpreted.)

  Experimenting here, it seems that the Actions menu within the note sometimes offers to delete, and that when deletion is possible it affects the underlying highlight.

  This is really helpful -- thanks. And indeed -- I am desperate as a teacher for an online annotating tool, and the delay in timing with Diigolet (that you just helped me see) is going to be a hindrance to using it.

A first reload + re-presentation of Diigolet may give the false impression that only a few of your annotations were shared as requested. A later review should appear better.
