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. Click the Select tool.
2. Click an annotation. A frame with handles appears around it — drag it to move, drag a handle to resize.
3. Drag the round button above the frame to rotate.
4. The Layout card in the Properties panel sets exact rotation, position and size.

Move, resize and rotate

Drag the annotation to move it, drag a handle to resize it and drag the round handle above the frame to rotate it. Hold Shift while resizing to keep the proportions.

Copy, lock, layer order and delete

Select the annotation and use the right-click menu or the keyboard: ⌘ C / Ctrl C copy, ⌘ V / Ctrl V paste, ⌘ D / Ctrl D duplicate, ⌘ L / Ctrl L lock, Delete remove.

Select several annotations

Choose Multi-select (or hold Shift and click) and drag a rectangle over the annotations. Move, align or delete them as a group.
