Exhibit Control

As the Witness, you will have limited functionality when annotation controls have been granted. the witness will have the ability to annotate when the Exhibit Owner, Host, or Co-Host gives permission.

When annotation permission has been granted, the control buttons will be limited to the Witness with only being able to use the Direct to Page and the Download buttons. The witness will also be able to annotate the exhibit when control has been granted.

As an Attendee, you will be able to use all exhibit functions, except the Grant Control button.

To annotate the Exhibit, select Annotate from the menu.

Shown on the left within the picture below are the three main annotation tools. The freehand pen tool, freehand highlighter, as well as the text (OCR) highlighter. On the right side are all the color options for the annotation tools. In this case the freehand pen option is selected. You can also change the size of the stroke along with the opacity.

The option to use shapes is available and located in the Annotate menu. This allows you to add preset adjustable shapes to your exhibit. (The shapes available to use are rectangles, circles, and the line tool.)

Grant Control

As an Exhibit owner, you will have full exhibit control and the ability to grant all attendees permission to annotate the shared Exhibit.
