Add annotations to files
Annotate your charts so you can review notes while you practice or play! Annotations are saved to each PDF for every individual, so if you open the same PDF in the future, your notes will still be there. If you add annotations offline, they will sync when you are back online.
Tip
You can also access another person's annotations and merge them with your own, or use them to replace your annotations.
The available annotation tools differ based on the device you're using.
