Open and edit annotations

A note or audio annotation icon marks the location of an annotation on an image. When you move the pointer over an annotation icon and pause, a message displays the author name. You use the icons to open notes or play audio annotations. You can show, hide, or move the icons and edit the contents of notes.

Note: Resizing an image does not resize the annotation icons and note windows. The icons and note windows keep their locations relative to the image. Cropping an image removes any annotations from the cropped area; you can recover the annotations by undoing the Crop command.

Open a note or play an audio annotation

 Double-click the icon:

  • If you are opening a note, a window appears, displaying the note text.

  • If you are playing an audio annotation and have a sound card installed, the audio file begins to play.

Show or hide annotation icons

 Do one of the following:

  • Choose View > Show > Annotations.

  • Choose View > Extras. This command also shows or hides grids, guides, selection edges, target paths, and slices.

Edit annotations

 Do any of the following:

  • To move an annotation icon, move the pointer over the icon until it turns into an arrow, and then drag the icon. You can do this with any tool selected. Moving a note icon does not move its note window.

  • To move a note window, drag it by the title bar.

  • To edit the contents of a note, open the note, change any options, and add, delete, or change the text. You can use the same editing commands that you use when creating a note.

Delete notes and audio annotations

 Do any of the following:

  • To delete a note or audio annotation, select either the Notes or the Audio Annotation tool, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the Note or Audio Annotation icon in the image, and choose Delete Note or Delete Audio Annotation, or press the Delete key.

  • To delete all notes or audio annotations, select either the Notes or the Audio Annotation tool, and click Clear All in the tool options bar. You can also select either the Notes or the Audio Annotation tool, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the Note or Audio Annotation icon in the image, and choose Delete All Notes or Delete All Annotations from the context menu.
