Canopy files can be annotated directly within the Canopy Practitioner App. Currently, annotations can only be seen by firm members and are not visible to contacts. Annotations provide an excellent way to communicate with firm members and make any necessary notes on a file.
Note: Only files that have been saved to Canopy Files can be annotated.
1. To get started, navigate to open a relevant file's File Previewer on the app.
2. To begin annotating, click on Annotate under Annotation Modes.
Additionally, in this list, you can click Shapes to add to the document or the View
tab to view the document.
3. Select an annotation tool to apply to the file.
