Interacting with annotations in the comment list.​

Once an annotation is created on the drawing, they will be displayed in the "comment list" menu, allowing the user to browse and search for annotations. Clicking on an annotation in the list will select the respective annotation.

comment list Interaction​

In this menu, the user can view and interact with the existing annotations using the following elements:

  • Search Field

    Using the search field, the user can search for specific annotations by entering a query. Once the input is filled, the annotations list will filter to show only the annotations containing the matching expression.

    A user can remove the search query to reset the search.

  • Sorting Options

    • Author
