There are two cases:
1) 4 words or less: you always get prompted with pop up menu and have to select Highlight explicitly
2) 5 or more words: with ‘highlight menu’ setting Off, highlight gets created (and I assume it is logged to myclippings); with ‘highlight menu’ setting On, the pop up menu includes Undo. I assume that if you Undo then no highlight will get logged to myclippings. So the suggestion was to set it On, so that you have a chance to avoid creating (and logging) highlights accidentally. Of course if the aim was to select text and then invoke Sharing/search/Wikipedia/Translation/Report Content Error, then it is going to create a highlight as well (which is something I don’t like)

I do know exactly what myclippings is, hence this thread. And the cloud stuff you’re describing does not work for sideloaded books.

In future please take care to understand what a thread is about and confirm your answers for yourself before posting.
Your previous posts said nothing about sideloading books. Which is why the statement is qualified with “if you store your documents in the cloud...’. Maybe the comment is of no use to you, but you are not the only person reading posts here. It just seemed to me worth noting.
