Using the Annotate feature

  • Annotate content: Use the stylus to make annotations on the content that you are interested in. Your annotations will be displayed above the content in the app.

    Scrolling annotations are not supported. After you have made annotations on the current page, you need to touch to save the annotations and then go to the next page.

  • Browse content: Swipe up or down to select the content you want to browse.
  • Set the brush: Touch the stylus toolbar to set the brush color and width.

    You can touch the plus sign (+) to enable Stylus only. You can then only use the stylus to operate your laptop, not the touchscreen or mouse. If you want to use the touchscreen or mouse to operate your laptop, disable Stylus only.

  • Write and edit: When you are making annotations, you can modify your annotation at any time.
    • Select the lasso toolbar to select handwriting, zoom in or out, and move the handwriting.

    • Select the eraser toolbar to erase handwriting.

  • Save: After you have made annotations, touch to save them. The file can be saved as an image or a PDF document.
