Annotations

Modified on Fri, 12 Jun at 3:12 AM

If enabled on your platform, you can add private annotations to your PDF files.

There are five different options you can use to annotate your documents: Strikethrough, Box, Pin, Highlight and Draw.

Annotation toolbar in the BoardHub app

  • The Strikeout option allows users to select an area of text and apply a strikethrough.
  • The Box option highlights an area of text in a variety of colours.
  • The Pin feature lets you add a comment anywhere on the page.
  • The Highlight option is similar to Strikeout, but highlights rather than striking through the selected text.
  • The Draw feature allows users to draw freely on the page in a variety of colours and widths.

You can also use the Lock option to keep using the same tool repeatedly without re-selecting it each time.

Note: The Lock option is not applicable for the Draw tool.

By tapping on any previously completed annotation you can bring up options to change the colour, add a comment, or delete the original annotation.

Annotations are tied to a specific file version. If a new version of a file is available, you can access your notes by loading the relevant version - a pen icon will be displayed next to versions that have annotations.
