Annotation Display Order

If more than one annotation is placed in the same part of a document image, some annotations may cover or obscure other annotations. By default, more recently-created annotations will be displayed on top of older annotations. However, you can manually adjust the annotation display order using the Bring to Front and Send to Back commands.

If an annotation is completely obscured by another annotation, you can use these commands to reveal it. You can also use this command to alter a document's visual display. For instance, you might have both a highlight and a polygon placed on an image such that they are overlapping. You can determine which annotation is the more visually prominent using annotation display order.

Note: Redactions are always at the back, and their display order cannot be changed.

To adjust an annotation's display order

  1. Right-click the annotation.
  2. Select Bring to Front or Send to Back.
