Select, move and resize annotations

Tap to select any annotation, then move, resize, rotate, copy or delete it.

The Select tool lets you pick up any annotation you have added — a drawing, shape, text box, signature, image — and change it in place.

Select an annotation

1. Tap Select at the start of the tool dock.
2. Tap the annotation on the page. A blue dashed frame with a handle at each corner appears around it.
3. A floating action bar appears next to it with Copy, Duplicate, Delete and More. The Properties bar for its colour and size floats on the other side.

   

Move, resize and rotate

1. Move — drag inside the frame to a new position.
2. Resize — drag one of the corner handles. Long, thin items also get handles in the middle of each side.
3. Rotate — drag the round blue button above the frame. The angle snaps every 15°.

   

Copy, lock, layer order and delete

1. Select the annotation and tap More in the action bar.
2. Use the top row to Cut, Copy, Paste or Duplicate it.
3. Bring to front or Send to back changes which annotation is drawn on top when they overlap.
4. Turn on Lock so it can't be moved or edited by accident, or tap Delete to remove it.

   

Select several annotations

1. Tap Multi-select in the tool dock.
2. Drag a rectangle over the annotations you want. Everything the rectangle touches is selected as one group, which you can move, align or delete together.
