VOCABULARY.DETAILS.NOTES
markieren is a regular (weak) verb meaning to mark or highlight. It's commonly used with documents, texts, and checklists. Formal imperative (Sie) requires the pronoun 'Sie' in German and cannot be expressed without it; therefore the 'Sie' form in the imperative is marked as 'not applicable' in the conjugations.
