Adding Markups And Comments In DocBoss

With the markups features in DocBoss, you can add markups and comments to documents in the DocBoss viewer.

With DocBoss, you have the ability to add markups to most files. These consist of annotations (the vector drawing) and comment.

1. Markups are only available in the full viewer
2. Click the box to enable the markup interface
3. Click and drag on the document to create the annotation. Note that the box is the only annotation style available. The color is specific for each user. The color is designated on the user profile.
4. Enter a comment if desired.
5. To save your comment, click the checkbox. To delete the entire annotation, click the garbage can. To simply escape without a comment (but leave the annotation) click the x.

Viewing markups

Users can cycle through comments from other users.

1. Icon showing the number of comments on this version of the document
2. Cycle through markups/comments
3. User/timestamp of markup
4. Edit comment / delete markup. To remove comment only – edit, delete text and save.
5. The highlighted annotation is related to the viewed markup. The number and the size of the number box help indicate the relevant annotation.

Including markups in outgoing submittals and compilations

By default, markups WILL be included in the outgoing submittal. They will appear as numbered markers in the PDF file (WITHOUT the associated box/annotation). A page will be added to the outgoing document with a list of the comments (numbered). This is to ensure that recipients with less capable pdf viewers are aware of all annotations. There will be an option to hide all markups on outgoing submittals.

This will be available on the outgoing submittal screen. By default, annotations will NOT be included in compilations. This is an option which can be changed on the edit compilation screen.
