Attaching comments to objects and using Markup tools
Use the Comments & Markup function to attach written notes called comments to any object in a
Canvas document. This can be useful for individuals and coworkers who share documents. Anyone
who works on a document can use the Markup tools and attach multiple comments to any object,
including paint, vector, and text objects.
Marking up a document
To facilitate group work or revision, Canvas has a complete palette of tools that you can use to mark
up documents, the Markup & Redline tools. This functionality keeps the markups and comments with
the original document, yet separate. Using the Markup tools doesn’t alter the original document at all.
Markups and comments can be easily created on another layer.
The Markup tools consist of the following tools:
Markup Highlighter: Creates a thick Bézier curve.
Markup Pen : Creates a freeform line.
Circle Redline: Creates an oval-shaped bounding box.
Rectangle Redline: Creates a rectangle bounding box.
