Amaya supports two kinds of annotations: annotations that apply to a whole document and annotations
that apply to a specific position or a selection in a document.
• To annotate an entire document, choose Annotate document from the Tools/Annotations
menu.
• To annotate a position, put the insertion point at that position in the document and choose
Annotate selection from the Tools/Annotations menu.
• To annotate a selection, make a selection in the document and choose Annotate selection from
the Tools/Annotations menu.
After these operations, an annotation document is displayed, with some inital metadata and an empty
body.
The metadata consists of the title of the annotation, the author's name, the title of the annotated
document, the annotation type, the creation date, and the last modification date.
Some of the metadata fields have special properties:
• The Source document field is a link that points back to the annotated text. If the user double-
clicks it, as when following any other link with Amaya, the annotated document will be
displayed with the annotated text highlighted.
• The Annotation types field lets you classify the annotation and change its type. Double-click
on the text Annotation type to see the list of types available.
• The Last modified field is updated automatically each time that an annotation is saved.
Below the header area is the annotation body area. It shows the current content and can be edited like any
other HTML document.
Some commands that can be applied to a document in the Amaya document window also can be applied
to an annotation document in the Annotation window. For example, the body of an annotation can be
printed by choosing Print from the File menu, or reloaded by choosing Reload document from the File
menu.
26.4. Saving an annotation
Saving an annotation is the same as saving any other document with Amaya: choose Save from the File
menu (or use its equivalent shortcut or button) or press the Save button.
Local annotations are saved to the annotations directory and remote annotations are saved to the
annotation post server, if the user has write access.
To convert a local annotation into a shared one, choose Post to server from the Tools/Annotations
menu to save the annotation to the Post server as defined in the Configuration for Annotations dialog.
If this operation is successful, the local annotation will be removed and future Save operations will go
directly to that annotation server.
26.5. Deleting an annotation
The Delete command on the Tools/Annotations submenu enables you to delete the current annotation.
You can invoke this command from an annotation window.
You can also delete an annotation from the annotated document. Select the icon of the annotation and
call the same command from the Tools menu in the annotated document window.
