Add comments to a PDF

Mark up a shared plan or specification so your designer can see exactly what you mean.

Updated

PDFs in Documents open with mark-up tools. You can highlight, draw or leave a note on the page, and your designer sees it.

Steps

  1. Open Documents and tap a PDF.
  2. Choose a mark-up tool from the toolbar at the top of the viewer.
  3. Mark the page where you want to comment.
  4. Close the viewer when you have finished.

What happens next

  • Your marks save automatically. While a mark is still saving you see "Saving your comments…" at the top. Wait for it to clear before closing.
  • Your design team is told that you have commented on the document.

Good to know

  • Your marks sit on top of the file. The document itself is not changed.
  • If your studio uploads a new version of the file, it opens without the earlier marks.
  • Mark-up works in Documents. Files in Drawings open read-only.
  • Marking up is easiest on a computer or tablet.
