Selecting annotations

• You can select annotations by clicking on them. To select multiple annotations at the same time, hold the Shift key and click while dragging.

• Use the right-click menu to select annotations of same type, color or icon. Very useful for batch-editing!

Resizing and rotating

Annotations can be resized and rotated. Most annotations can only be resized by pulling from the corner, but you can change the aspect ratio for notes and images by pulling from the side as well.

Locking annotations

Once you’re done creating and fine-tuning your objects, you can lock them to make sure they aren’t inadvertently moved or modified. Locking will prevent making any changes to an object’s style or properties until it’s unlocked.

• Select the annotations you want to lock

• From the three dot menu choose the option to Lock

• To unlock choose the option to Unlock

Arrange options

To arrange the drawing order between annotations

• Select the annotation you want to rearrange

• Right click and hover Arrange to choose the appropriate ordering

Annotation groups

Annotations are great for adding context to the map, but having too many of them can quickly get hard to manage. Grouping annotations is a useful way to categorize and organize annotations and allow for visibility control in the legent.

Creating Groups

To assign annotations to a new or existing group:

• Select the ones you want to group and then click on the Group button.

This also works for multiple annotations selected together, either using Shift+Click+Drag, the Cmd+K menu or right-clicking on an annotations, then picking from the Select similar... options.

Editing groups & toggling visibility

Groups are visible in the Sidebar List. Simply click the eyeball icon to hide or show a group.

By clicking on a group in the Sidebar List, one can select all the contents, change icons for pin annotations inside that group or even update details for many annotations at once.
