There is no requirement that the highlighter be "copyable" unless you are handing out copies to staff to use during the shift. In that case I could see why the surveyor expressed some concern. Even so, I don't think they will cite you for it.

One of the surveyors just left my office. she is unhappy that we use yellow
highlighter when we update the care plan since it won't copy. She feels we
should use another color. as long as I have been doing this we have always
used a highlighter to update information that is correct. We feel like if
we line it out we are saying it was not correct at all. Anyone do anything
differently?
We've always been told to use yellow highlighters.
