Add a File Annotation

Add annotations to specific sections of a file to highlight discussion areas. For example, you can add a pushpin marker and enter a comment about the file where the pushpin is placed.

Note: Users with View Only (System) permission set for files can also add an annotation to a file. They can delete the annotation if it was created by them and if it has no additional comments.

To add an annotation:

  1. Navigate to the files page
  2. In the table, select the name of a file.
  3. On the drawing toolbar, select the Color Selector and choose a color for the annotation.
  4. On the drawing toolbar, select one of the following drawing tools:
    1. Pin: Use the Pin to post an annotation to a pinpointed location.
    2. Rectangle: Use the Rectangle tool to draw a rectangle.
    3. Ellipse: Use the Ellipse tool to draw an ellipse.
    4. Highlight: Use the Highlighter tool to create a free-form highlight.
    5. Polygon: Use the Polygon tool to create a free form polygon shape. You must create at least three points.
  5. Enter a name.
  6. Select Save.
