  One of my group members is asking if there is a way to highlight or annotate a site that someone else in the group has bookmarked, without ending up bookmarking that site to his personal bookmark list. Anyone know about that?
  
  Also, whatever I highlight on a group page defaults to a private highlight, and I can't see a way to make it public. Is there a way to set it in the Diigo toolbar options? Did there used to be?

  No. Most of the time people bookmark and share something to the group, they normally want a copy themselves as well. So to make that optional will make the logic unnecessarily complex. The workaround - if he really doesn't want it, just go to his own bookmarks and do batch delete.

  Group members will see those annotations shared to the group. I don't think so - can double check.

  unless you have already shared the page to a group, highlights in that page always start as private (otherwise, we may see too many highlights by others) .
  
  To make a highlight as a group highlight, you need to bookmark the page and share it to the group -- note "share existing annotation" is checked by default.
  
  or you can simply add a inline sticky note on top of the highlight, and you can set it public or group there.
