Change the default highlight color

In the previous version of Acrobat, you used to be able to select a default color for highlighting. I use color-coded highlighting a lot and I can't find a way to change the default highlight color in Acrobat DC. It looks like the only choice I have is to change the highlight color of each highlight individually.  Where did the highlight color preference go?

    After changing the color of a highlight right-click it and click "Make current properties default".

      What product version are you using?

      Try updating your Acrobat/Reader DC.
