The pen/annotation button in the content toolbar can be tapped to enter annotation mode. When this mode is active, you can simply move your finger on top of the document to mark-up content (in a red colour by default). A mark-up menu appears at the top left of the content item to show additional annotation options, such as colour, line thickness, undo/redo.
The buttons in the mark-up menu are:
- Colour: Select the colour for annotations you make from now on
- Pen tip size: Changes the thickness of any annotation type
- Eraser: Toggles between the eraser and annotation mode
- Undo: Undoes the previous strokes (including both annotating and erasing)
- Redo: Redoes the previous undone strokes (including both annotating and erasing)
- Erase All (Trashcan icon): Removes all annotations on the object (requiring confirmation first)
Content items with mark-ups can also be flicked between IdeaLayer screens, allowing others to collaborate by further annotating the object or by changing your annotations. When flicking to another IdeaLayer touch screen, a Take Control button will be displayed, enabling the other users to turn on the annotation mode and make changes.
Saving/Sharing Annotations
Any mark-ups you make to content are temporary during your current presentation - when the session is cleared (or your project reloaded) these mark-ups will be lost. To save your markups, you can tap the star/favourite button (in the content toolbar at the bottom left) to collect it into an email pack. In the email pack, any mark-ups done will be saved into a new attachment.
